Recently, when I’ve been using automation strategies to monitor on-chain data, I keep running into that kind of “it stutters for a moment.” The page doesn’t crash, but at a certain block height it suddenly stops for a few seconds. Put simply, it’s usually not that the chain is slow—it's the indexer/Subgraph chasing blocks, rolling back and re-computing, plus the RPC being rate-limited (when requests are too dense, they get cut off). From your side, it looks like the data has gaps. Later, thinking about it, it was kind of funny—I even thought my strategy had blown up, and I spent half an eternity troubleshooting.
Now I just treat it as normal infrastructure jitter: compare key metrics from two sources, add a buffer window to the trigger conditions, and don’t go crazy re-submitting orders just because it stutters. Recently, the whole “yield stacking” debate around re-staking/sharing security has been getting loud, but the data layer is the same too—layer upon layer. If any one layer gets to catch its breath, the top-level human experience is: “why did it stop again”… In any case, discipline comes first—don’t let yourself be pulled around by momentary noise.
