MapBox incorrect driving time estimate

Using MapBox's driving API, these 2 coordinates show an estimate of 13h+. 103.7438696,1.495984; 103.6637688,1.5001924

13 hours for Traffic, Driving and Walking. But 1h 20m for Cycling.

Does anyone know what contributes to the excessive estimate? Google shows 20mins and it's just about right.

Update 16:49 GMT+8 Seems to be a system-wide issue. Affects our locations in MY, NZ, AU, PH, SG. All our delivery systems are misestimating delivery times and making customers really angry and reluctant to place orders.

Both happens using their library and their PlayGround.
