Smart Placement Not Working

We are hosting our database in us-east-1 (aws via Planetscale) and are trying to run our backend on Cloudflare Workers. Even though our worker is configured with smart placement and has received ~13k requests over the past few hours, smart placement still does not seem to be triggering, resulting in horrendously slow response times from the west coast (~3s for 10 serial DB calls within the worker)
