<p>Running 3.2.4, and clicking on "new field" which calls <code>/[admin]/settings/fields/new</code> times out on our AWS servers where the DB is hosted in the cloud. It isn't an issue when everything's running <code>localhost</code>, but that's the only things we can see as a difference between them.</p>

<p>Could anyone else who similarly has their DB hosted on another machine try clicking Settings->Fields->New and see if it returns fast?</p>

Tons of Craft 3 installs running on AWS (including id.craftcms.com/api.craftcms.com/etc.) so guessing it depends on your specific environment. Tried checking AWS and Craft/PHP log files to see where the hangup occurs?

Running 3.2.4, and clicking on "new field" which calls `/[admin]/settings/fields/new` times out on our AWS servers where the DB is hosted in the cloud. It isn't an issue when everything's running `localhost`, but that's the only things we can see as a difference between them.

On the AWS hosted site, the CP and front end become unresponsive for that user in that browser for 15-20 minutes, but a newly created session from another browser works.

Could anyone else who similarly has their DB hosted on another machine try clicking Settings->Fields->New and see if it returns fast?
