Update
Mail is slower than usual. Sending is delayed, and some messages fail to send. Attachment uploads are slow. Notifications and Auto Labels can be delayed.
We stopped the change that caused the extra load. A change that lowers the remaining load is merged and waiting to deploy. Sync that already started is still running, so the slowdown continues.
