Hello,
We just found this error:

No further information is found. We can start other flags to help track this error if needed.

Hello, you can run it with the --debug flag like home/crunch_user/crunch --config-path /home/crunch_user/dot.env rewards --short -f /home/crunch_user/keys.private --disable-matrix --debug if the error persists.

I see the logs are a few days older, is it still crashing? Did a restart fixed it, or did you had to try with a different RPC?

[m-saxemberg]

Sure, the debug flag will be included on Crunch from now on.
A new RPC is used so no new crashes with the exact same error happened since.
Right now the other error already reported on Matrix still persists and it is kept on all RPCs tested IBP, Luckyfriday, Parity Dwellir. Others have reported the same issue consistently.

ERROR crunch_core] Subxt error: RPC error: RPC error: client error: Request timeout

Although that seems to be related to AssetHub nodes. We'll report what we find after switching to a local AssetHub node.

[paulormart]

No need to include the --debug flag forever, it helps if the issue is a recursive one, otherwise no need, it can grow your logs a bit. My first hint is that it was somehow related to the RPCs issues you reported.

Regarding the timeouts, try this endpoint wss://asset-hub-polkadot.rpc.turboflakes.io and see if you still have issues.

Also follow this issue on polkadot-sdk #10719 related to the RPCs timeouts.
