It's pretty reliable (I haven't seen any major outage in 5+ years), but hitching yourself to someone else's wagon always carries an element of risk - if they decide to pull the pin on their project that page will die, possibly without much warning. If you are experiencing long delays, you could consider automating the process with Python or if you're looking for something simpler, an auto-clicker might do the trick, provided you are on the page with the Create button showing - just paste this into your console and hit Enter: What we have in place now prevents abuse in that it doesn't expose login details for your TURN server that can be used for longer than 24 hours (this time limit can be set in the credentaials API config.inc.php file), so a super-naive "bad actor" would have to come back to the app once a day to get new credentials.
