Hey!

I have to close this as a reproduction was not provided. We also don't need access to a full private repo, but prefer small isolated reproductions where the issue is present. Trying to create a reproduction ourselves from the information in an issue drastically increases the amount of time it takes for us to provide a solution and if we have do that for every issue it’s impossible for us to keep up.

One thing you could check is if your content configuration contains a lot of files (e.g.: when you include node_modules or other large folders). If so, make sure they are not included in the content array.

Sorry, not trying to be dismissive and definitely want to fix the issue if there is one, but we have to be strict about this one or there's no way we could keep up with the number of questions we get and the quality of the library would suffer as a result. Hope that's understandable!
