Laravel Debugging Woes: Why is my Quick Fix so Slow Now?

Hey everyone,

We're scratching our heads over here trying to figure out what's going on with our 'Laravel Quick Fix & Consultation' product. It's a key part of our Laravel application development workflow and usually runs like a dream, but after a recent minor patch, it's suddenly developed a severe case of sluggishness. It's like Laravel decided to take a coffee break right in the middle of our most critical processes.

Specifically, a certain consultation process that involves a few Eloquent queries and a custom service method is now taking ages and occasionally throws an error. It feels like Laravel is deliberately slowing down just to spite me. We're seeing inexplicable delays, followed by this delightful 'undefined method' error, which makes no sense given the method definitely exists:

[2023-10-27 10:30:05] local.ERROR: Call to undefined method App\Models\User::getQuickFixStatus() {"exception":"[object] (BadMethodCallException(code: 0): Call to undefined method App\\Models\\User::getQuickFixStatus() at /var/www/html/app/Http/Controllers/QuickFixController.php:78)
[stacktrace]
#0 /var/www/html/app/Http/Controllers/QuickFixController.php(78): App\\Models\\User->getQuickFixStatus()
#1 [internal function]: App\\Http\\Controllers\\QuickFixController->processQuickFix(Object(Illuminate\\Http\\Request))
...

It's like Laravel decided to play hide-and-seek with my methods just for fun. Any seasoned Laravel debugging gurus out there seen this particular flavor of madness before? What's your go-to for tracing these phantom method calls and performance bottlenecks when the logs aren't being particularly helpful?

Thanks in advance!
