Things to consider
Slowness in Data Studio
The base reporting API has a limit of 20 requests per minute. This means that Data Studio (or other tools that send batches of requests) tends to perform badly, as each element on the report page is at least one request.
It's recommended to keep the number of elements in a report to a minimum to ensure all requests can get through. Failing this, waiting a few minutes and then refreshing the report will usually pull the data from the cache.
