How do i avoid : Transaction failed: Transaction rejected: txn dead: round 50020955 outside of 50020

I am running my tests on testnet because my app in integrated with apps on testnet. i keep getting this errror, sometimes. when i run my tests, how do i avoid this

[thorny inlet]

are you making a lot of transactions in quick succession?

@warm garnet If you're intermittently getting errors while running tests on the Soroban testnet, it could be due to Network Latency or Congestion The testnet might be experiencing high traffic, leading to temporary failures.

most likely, it's a pytest session

i set default_validity_window to 1000 and it seems to work

[thorny inlet]

that was what i was going to suggest

believe the default window was bumped to 100 recently

so you must really be cranking it

keep in mind 1000 is max

[warm garnet]

oh i see, haha, i will try lower. thanks

this is basically a mechanism to prevent spam attacks on the network by limiting the num of transactions you can pass within a certain window of rounds

not a big deal if you're developing on local net or something similar

but if you're trying to deploy on networks where there are other users beside yourself making transactions it can cause network congestion
