Logs delay in grafana dashboard from Loki >> Fluentbit

We have installed Loki-Grafana-Fluentbit without using Helm. We have 350+ application running on Kubernetes cluster.

Some of application produce too many lines of logs in a seconds. During that time we are facing the issue delay in logs from loki to grafana. This is happen in some of application. It is starting delay from 3 min and than so on… i assume that logs are not getting in batch-size from loki to grafana.

We are using Fluent-bit official image with output Loki with this ref documentation >> Loki - Fluent Bit: Official Manual

I am sharing ConfigMap file of Loki and Fluent-bit, I am not sure where i am missing.
