Pihole gravity update is very slow after pihole core update

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where the pihole is very slow to update the gravity list. I have reinstalled it to a different SD card thinking it is the issue, but it does same thing. I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM. My SD card is a 32GB PNY with speeds up to 100 MB/s. It is the latest and greatest hardware, so it shouldn't be the issue. I had to upgrade my Pi after Pihole was updated to V6. I had a Raspberry Pi W Zero before. A couple of days ago, I did receive an update message on the GUI, which I did update, so I am not if that is an issue or not. Thanks for taking your time to read this guys. I hope to hear from you soon.

Details about my system:
Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM. SD card is a 32GB PNY with speeds up to 100 MB/s.

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:

docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d

where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.

I'm new here, so I'm not sure what you are asking, but is this what you are looking for?

Yes.

Okay, please let know what my issue is. Thank you.

The sheer number of adlists and gravity domains you have are likely contributing to this behavior:

10.17M domains on gravity (and 79 adlists) is a bit over the top.

Thank you for the reply. That is strange because it did not behave like this before, even with this amount of domains. What do you recommend me to do? Should I delete some domains?
