Major bug: Server lag upon completing dungeon for Redeemed Citadel weekly + reward 600x single Favor

The moment you fulfill the requirement for a dungeon eligible for the Redeemed Citadel weekly quests, everything seems to freeze, but you can still type, your cooldowns still tick, etc. but the mobs don't move, you can't move, and what you type in chat is not immediately sent. This seems to be the server lagging behind or freezing. After 8-10 seconds, sometimes longer, you get the 'completed' text in your screen and you receive 600 separate, individual, Zariel's Favor.
Often, such lag spikes also happen while in the dungeon and sometimes also in other maps. It seems obvious that the server has a hard time adding 600 separate Zariel Favor one by one to the inventories of five players, all in the same tick. Since the same lag spikes can happen in other places - mostly in dungeons but also sometimes on other maps - it seems to me that those might be caused when other players finish their Redeemed Citadel dungeon weekly, and your instance happens to be running on the same machine as their dungeon instance.
The server (probably the machine and not just the instance) freezes for 8-10 seconds typically upon completing a dungeon for the Redeemed Citadel weekly
Upon completing a weekly dungeon for Redeemed Citadel Weekly, every eligible player is awarded 600 separate Zariel's Favor, instead of being awarded 600 Favors once - causing the server to freeze while doing 600 x 5 = 3000 separate inventory updates in the same tick.
