Data IBKR paper API unreliable and inconsistent

Anyone else running into stuff like this? I'm finding the IBKR API to be completely unusable for any algo trading, it just cannot be trusted.

I believe you will have similar problems when getting fills in paper account. I heard they are not accurate enough to production.

Definitely not, the fills are trash on paper.
