Recently, I’ve been seeing people say, “the on-chain data seems to get stuck, with a delay of half a day.” In most cases, it’s not because your network is bad… Indexers/Subgraph are basically systems where someone works in the background to organize a bunch of events into tables that are easy to query. They need to sync, they need to replay, and they might also be rebuilding the indexes at just the right moment—so the front end will act like it’s glitching, intermittently cutting in and out. On top of that, there’s RPC rate limiting. Especially when you’re running scripts for testnet tasks or farming points, once the request volume spikes, it gets throttled. What you see is loading spinners—then your balance shows up for a bit, then disappears, then appears again. Put simply, don’t rush to blame the wallet, don’t randomly click retry, and don’t go signing a bunch of authorizations just because “the mainnet might issue tokens”… The first thing I check when I notice lag is permissions, then whether you’re calling the same public RPC. If it’s being limited, switch to a different node—do that for now.
