I was just about to check an address’s balance, but the subgraph just kept spinning for almost half a minute—I almost thought my wallet had been stolen 😅. Now that RPC rate limiting is getting more and more ridiculous, the indexer refresh is so slow, like it’s waiting for a traffic light. The data clearly has already finished running, yet it still gets stuck at the node step. In the past I would force refresh, but now I just switch to a different endpoint or wait a few minutes. As usual, during API peak hours, it gets exceeded/limited every day.

Speaking of which, hardware wallets have been in such serious stockouts lately. A lot of people are going to buy second-hand ones or temporarily use a hot wallet, right at the time when phishing links are surging. I’ve simply paused all on-chain operations and will wait until the new hardware arrives. After all, you can’t stretch a “handshake” for more than a few days—don’t put your life savings at risk just to save a bit of gas.
