Just finished practicing yoga and came back to check on on-chain data, and occasionally I encounter those moments of "how to pause briefly," which isn't necessarily that the chain has crashed... more often it's like the layer I'm using as a "porter" is catching its breath. Indexers/Subgraphs are just organizing a bunch of raw transactions into searchable results; when node synchronization is slow, reorganization occurs, or it queues itself for updates, you'll see that even though transactions have already happened on the chain, the front end still seems unresponsive. RPC rate limiting is also quite common, basically meaning you're asking too often / everyone is asking at once, so the service provider temporarily puts you on hold. Recently, the deposit and withdrawal side has been discussing tax increases and tighter or relaxed compliance, and I find my emotions also get carried away: the more uncertain I am, the more I want to "confirm data immediately." Let's pause for a moment; tonight I'll check the authorization of my frequently used addresses, and by the way, note this: lagging doesn't equal opportunity.
