Congestion between HE and Cloudflare in Seattle?

Lately (past couple weeks perhaps) I've been seeing pretty poor performance to Cloudflare-hosted sites through the tunnel at the Seattle POP. Traceroute output:

For now I've been rejecting connections to Cloudflare's IPv6 ranges thru my firewall so Happy Eyeballs kicks in to force IPv4. In terms of bandwidth, I'm getting about 8 mbps on speed.cloudflare.com via IPv6, and the expected 300 mbps via IPv4. Other IPv6 destinations seem unaffected; it's only Cloudflare that seems to be slow.

Maybe the peering session between HE and Cloudflare at SIX is congested?
