Recently, on-chain data keeps "lagging," and honestly, many times it's not your internet connection but the indexer/subgraph chasing blocks, filling in historical data, or RPC being rate-limited and queued. You think you're viewing "real-time," but actually someone is doing background work: nodes sync first, then indexing and database updates, and the frontend fetches afterward. If one part glitches, everything temporarily stalls for a few seconds. What's even more amusing is that Layer 2s are arguing daily about TPS, fees, and subsidies. I just want to ask: can't you just stop throttling the public RPC so harshly... Anyway, before I look at charts now, I check if the request received a 429 to avoid questioning my life again.
