Recently, I keep encountering those "hiccups" when checking on-chain data. To be honest, at first I thought my internet was bad... but then I realized it's mostly because the indexer/Subgraph is chasing blocks, or RPC is being rate-limited. You think you're viewing "real-time," but there's actually layer after layer in between: nodes need to sync, indexing needs to be stored, the frontend pulls data, and any delay in one link feels like hitting the pause button. Especially now, with everyone focused on testnet incentives and points systems, and scripts flooding interactions, it's normal for RPC to get overwhelmed. The more guesses there are about whether the mainnet will issue tokens, the more on-chain queries resemble rush hour. Anyway, I tend to check data from several different sources for comparison—don't jump to conclusions about "big news" just because of a delay. I'm not entirely sure myself, but slowing down is pretty good; it reminds me not to be too eager or reckless.
