The whole thing about oracle price delays is, simply put, the few seconds between the price you think you see and the actual on-chain execution price—liquidation bots won't wait for you to refresh the page.

Last week, a friend had a position worth over two hundred bucks, and the oracle price lagged for about three seconds. When he came back, it was gone. He didn't want to believe it, saying "How much difference can three seconds make?" ... Well, he believes it now.

Lately, compliance pressures have been tightening again, and the whole fiat on/off ramp process is dragging on. Some people just leave small amounts on-chain and don't bother moving them. The risk of delayed liquidation is even more annoying at times like this—you think you're still far from the safety line, but the oracle price hiccups, and the liquidation is already done.

For now, whenever I have a position, I first check the oracle update frequency, and I also pick routers with built-in protection. That's it for now—going to have some tea and unwind by watching the block auction fights.
