Hey, I surfaced this post to them via our tg, hope you guys can work something out. That seems very expensive!

i'm just using default go-ethereum websocket client with subscribe to new head method pushing updates to the channel, have been using same service for like 2 years with constant usage throughout out this entire period of time. no idea what's gone wrong

I think issue might be that I didn't actively unsubscribe on error, maybe they've changed how they handle idle/dead connections and that caused  number of dead listeners consuming CUs go up

oh no! sorry to shill here but I definitely feel that @quicknode Streams would be way more reliable and cost-effective solution to get new blocks and transactions. we built it exactly to solve this problem + help with reorgs and more
