Why do I get itchy hands and start checking the indexer/RPC stuff... Honestly, when I see the interface "freeze" for a moment, I start to imagine whether the chain has some new issue. The less certain I am, the more I want to figure out the cause; otherwise, I can't sleep.

Actually, many times it's not that the chain has stopped, but that the data layer is struggling: Subgraph needs to scan blocks and build indexes, sometimes it can't keep up with the latest height; on the RPC side, there might be rate limiting. When you refresh, and your wallet/frontend sends multiple requests at once, you get queued or even directly hit a 429 error. The feeling is like "suddenly no balance/no records." Plus, some services cache data, and if the cache isn't updated, it's like time has frozen for a moment.

Recently, in the group, there's been a heated debate about privacy coins and the boundaries of mixing compliance—it's quite similar to this situation: everyone wants an "immediate answer," but in reality, the middle layer has a bunch of rules and restrictions... I’ve decided to be more patient now, if the data is stuck, I wait two minutes, switch to a different RPC, and check again—don't jump to the conclusion that I've been liquidated right away.
