Today, on-chain data "hiccuped" again, and my first reaction wasn't poor network connectivity, but: the indexer/subgraph is catching its breath behind the scenes... RPC also conveniently throttled you, and the front end just plays it as "loading, but I don't know what it's loading." To put it simply, it's not that there's no data on the chain, but the data highway you're viewing is temporarily congested: nodes are busy, the index hasn't caught up to the latest blocks, or a service provider has been overwhelmed.
What's even funnier is that new L1/L2 incentives boost TVL, everyone rushes in to mine and sell, traffic surges, but old users are cursing and waiting for refresh, governance votes haven't even been confirmed, and the page just spins...
So now I only look at the results with "probability" in mind: is this a chance of my operation mistake? a chance of the service provider acting up? a chance of being throttled? Anyway, don't immediately assume "the chain is broken," stay calm first, click again after a couple of minutes, and you'll save a lot of mental gas (psychological).
