Same...I restart it for it to work for about 2 minutes, then repeat. Nearly impossible to play tonight.
This issue is known to Roll20 and they're working on it. In the meantime, I suggest you do what someone else suggested to me, which is to install the APIHeartbeat script and run !api-heartbeat once you're in your game. That should keep your API alive and stop it from crashing so frequently.

Oddly, had no API lags or failures last night. Had general performance lags, but it was an enormous dungeon and the GM was using Advanced Fog of War. Everything else went wrong. One guy lost internet, two folks (including myself) had Discord utterly fail, and at one point I decided to restart my computer, and it crashed so hard that I had to run repairs in Safe Mode. Crazy night, but Roll20 chugged in through. I actually finished the night on my Chromebook running Discord through my phone. Weirdly enough, the Chromebook actually performed better than my Mac. Almost no lag. Go figure.
I ran an API command, it finally executed, when we were in the next scene... We had a great game and stream, in spite of the numerous lag and crash issues. It is much harder to avoid obscenities when streaming with the API,as it has been running lately.
Hey all - To keep communication consolidated, I'm going to be closing this post. If you have any additional comments or questions regarding this issue, please redirect them to the main thread seen here . Overall, our devops team is looking into these issues so we can get it addressed as soon as possible. To best help them, would you mind providing me the names or links of the games in which the API is having problems, please? You can send that to me in that linked main thread , or a PM if that's easier for you. Thank you!
