API call responsiveness to the GPT-4 model varies hugely throughout the day. The #1 datapoint in measured responsiveness is slowdown associated with lunch-time use as noon sweeps around the globe.
I made up an example here to illustrate, but it's just very annoying because sometimes it puts at the beginning, slowing down my interaction, and it now refuses to obey my prompts to leave caveats out.

looking at your sample and using character count as a rough proxy for tokens, (465/(1581-465))*100 means they added ~42% token count cost to your response explicitly adding caveats which you dont want. fun!
