Recently, when looking at on-chain data, it always seems to "pause," but it's not necessarily your network connection. Many front-end tools rely on indexers or subgraphs; nodes first fetch on-chain data and then organize it. When there are many new blocks, reorganizations, or the indexer hasn't caught up yet, balances and transaction records can be slow to update. Plus, rate limiting on RPCs is also quite common, especially before and after public chain upgrades and maintenance, when everyone is rushing to fetch data. A sudden spike in interface requests can make it seem like "nothing's happening."

When I see data anomalies now, my first reaction isn't to panic and confirm transactions immediately. I switch to a different RPC, compare with a block explorer, and quickly scan the authorization as well—don't get caught by phishing pages trying to trick you into signing malicious transactions... In short, the chain isn't broken; it might just be that the data pipeline is congested. Stay calm and patient.
