Probably a clogged strainer at the cut-off valve.

Either the strainer is clogged or the valve is scaled inside/diaphragm.

As colleagues above write, probably a strainer. Close the valve at the hose, unscrew the hose from the housing of the compact and you will have a plastic filter in the inlet to the float, it is inserted there only by pressing, so just grab it with pliers and pull it with a turn if necessary.

Hello,
I have just moved into a rented house and I have a problem with a compact toilet that fills up very slowly (wait time is approximately 5 minutes). The water pressure in the rest of the places is very good and only the toilet seat is a problem. Is there a solution that can be done on my own or do I need to call a plumber?
