Presumably a month's worth of points is a very large number. The query
takes a long time because it's potentially scanning millions of points
across at least 4 and possibly more shards.

Use a continuous query to pre-calculate your MIN() and MAX() values on an
hourly or daily basis and store those values in a new measurement. Then
issue the SPREAD() call to that downsampled data rather than the raw data.
