Just when I was about to check the airdrop progress, the page kept spinning, and the data stayed stuck on September 30… I literally cracked up 😅
Later I found out it wasn’t a network issue—it was RPC rate limiting. Especially during this period, it’s the airdrop season plus the task platforms being anti-sybil; everyone is watching the chain to check points, so node load is really high. The indexer’s Subgraph refresh is also slow—data feels like a traffic jam; one freeze lasts half a day.
Anyway, I’ve learned my lesson. When checking data for popular contracts, I should switch to a less-used RPC first, or just wait until after midnight to scan. Otherwise, those trying to farm rewards and rack up points move faster than the API rate limit… I even suspect I might have been filtered by the anti-sybil rules too, because when the data froze, it happened to freeze right at a good spot. Hilarious.
Forget it—data being stuck is one thing; the fishing trip still has to happen. That’s it for now. I’m going to see if there’s any new material in the on-chain little drama.
