Anyone else getting big lags in PVE just the last couple nights?

Just for the last couple nights, Wednesday and Thursday, I've been getting usually big lags in Dungeons and general PVE on PC/NA. Like I'll wait 2 or 3 seconds before a power fires sometimes, same before a sale registers with merchants, and NPCs and other players are freezing and jumping all over the place. Usually in busy places like Alinor or Cyrodill it's the whole screen that freezes, but what's happening now is I can move around but there's a delay with everyone and everything else. My connection seems fine from my end, and there's nothing else out of the ordinary happening internet-wise. Morning and afternoon I don't have any problems, but after 6:00 it's a whole different story. No one else in my dungeon groups seems to be getting it as bad... so is this happening to anyone else?

    Yes, PC/NA as well. I had a vSS run on Wednesday that was called early because multiple people had severe lag and rubberbanding. The instance was completely unplayable.

    Yes, lighting on last trash pull in nKA, it was idiotic, yes that fight tend to be laggy but it was idiotic.
    Also felt like it was more lag in other trials.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I have seen some lag but none to the point of being unplayable. However it is taking minutes to log in if I don't get a lobby error first.

    PS4 NA has been kinda rough the last few days as well. I couldn't get light attacks or skills to fire at all earlier.

    Since the start of the free eso+ week, I am frequently experiencing lag in group dungeons, to the point where tanking is impossible. Taunts don't work, chains take several seconds to happen, block is not registering. I queued as tank for a random normal, with an actual tank build, got CoS which should not present a problem at all to me, but I died repeatedly to missing AoE telegraphs, failed blocks and abilities not taking effect. I had to resort to fake tanking and do a "headless chicken run" with the others to stay alive and get us through the instance. Fortunately, I had a solo setup for the character which I could use instead.

    Aye, and it's bad this time. I usually never see lag while fishing. But seeing it now. I usually have pretty good internet, so I am assuming it's zos.

    I've been having odd lag for a couple months. I don't get lag in any other game so I know its not my end or my net

    Yes, it started today. Massive Lagspikes with standstill. Sometimes as much as 20 seconds.

    XBox NA here

    For weeks now it's been kind of bad for me, especially trying to run any Undaunted dungeons with my group. I seem to have more lag on anything animation heavy, especially blowing ults (my tank is a warden ice tank and i use dual ice staves, one of my ults is enchanted forest and it has broken me out of a dungeon using it more than once for the severe lag).

    The last couple of days, however, I've been having serious delays in my techniques going off, or even registering tasks like opening chests or trying to sprint. Usually I can tolerate it but the big annoying pve moment is after any sort of large boss fight or bone colossus (IDK why with them, either), I get stuck in that zone where nothing works and no clicks register until I roll-dodge myself out of being stuck.

    Maybe it IS from the ESP+ free trial but I don't see a whole lot of people around at 7am EST, so I don't have any context to full crowds

    And just now, Castle Thorn was impossibly hard on normal difficulty because chains, block, dodge and telegraphs were delayed to the point of basically not working at all. I expected an easy farm run with a group I know can do this dungeon easily, but we got a 30 minute struggle with several wipes on the blood swimming pool boss that resulted in failure.

    Been having this freeze lag for years now, don't know whats causing it as my connection is fine with everything else. The game pauses for a couple of seconds then everything speeds up, happening pretty much always in pvp even when theres nobody around and also in pve zones. Brought this up before with no solutions so far, makes playing pvp impossible rn super frustrating.
