Recently, people keep asking me: why is on-chain data sometimes fast and sometimes "stuck" for a bit... Honestly, most of the time it's not your internet connection, but the middle layer struggling to breathe. Subgraph/indexers need to first process new blocks, write to the database, and then serve your queries. During peak times or reorganizations (like occasional rollbacks), it slows down; RPC is even more straightforward—once rate limiting kicks in, your requests get queued or even dropped, making the frontend look like "suddenly frozen." Now, when I look at charts or monitor position changes, I always leave some buffer: check the same transaction from two or three sources, don’t jump to big conclusions just because of a delay. Especially recently, with extreme funding rates, people arguing in groups about whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble, I just think probabilistically: maybe the data is just clogged, not necessarily that the market is "hinting" at you.
