Delve boss spawn times out of whack?

Has anyone else noticed since maybe account wide achievements that delve bosses take a lot longer to spawn in?
I've made it a habit to do random delves on all my characters pretty regularly over the years, to get skyshards and fill in the map on different toons (before AwA anyway). So I've got a pretty long record of delve diving. I know this is apocryphal, but I swear 8 times out of 10 it used to be I'd arrive to find the delve boss waiting, but of late the delve boss is 8 times out of 10 not spawned in, and I'll often have to wait several minutes.

At first I thought I was just having some bad luck and arriving right after it died, but its happening so often and in some out of the way delves where I see no players, and statistically it's getting out of hand.

Because it's not something you really think to take note of it's taken a few months of consistently poor rng for me to really draw a conclusion that something is screwy.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    Yes, this was one of the consequences of AWA. I don't know if intended or not, but unlikely to get "fixed" probably.

    Previously if you hadn't been to that delve and killed the boss on a character, it would spawn in straight away, otherwise it would be on a timer. Now if any of your characters have been to that delve and killed the boss, it will be on a timer rather than straight away.

    It would be nice if they lowered the respawn time to compensate. Doing the undaunted delve quests you have to kill a few bosses and some really seem to take forever to spawn. Especially the one where you have debuff yourself with that poison flower.

    This and that is true for all players so if you waited on an boss and some other who had not killed him come it would spawn at once. Now this will only work for new players.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    This is still so so frustrating, sitting at a delve boss spawn, waiting well over 5 minutes for nothing to happen. I've just given up on doing delve dailies. Why waste the time?
