Mainnet Flashblocks WebSocket Connection Instability

We have made improvements to the handling of rate limits in order to provide a more stable endpoint for Flashblocks.

We have identified bottlenecks with the Websocket endpoints distributing Flashblocks. Between Nov 5-10, several changes were made that reduced connection drops by 50%. However, investigation continues in order to further reduce connection instability and lower the latency in receiving messages.

Updates will be posted here as progress is made.

We are currently investigating degraded connection stability to the Base Mainnet WebSocket endpoint for Flashblocks `wss://mainnet.flashblocks.base.org/ws`. Applications and nodes may experience intermittent connection drops to that endpoint.
