Critical Performance Update & Bug Fix

CRITICAL BUG FIX
  • Identified and resolved a critical bug that caused the Distance Matrix API to be called in an infinite loop when filtering results. This issue led to unexpectedly high API usage costs.
  • The travel time estimation feature has been temporarily disabled to prevent any further issues. The direct "as the crow flies" distance calculation remains active and accurate.
