Our SNS is consuming the following per day: Root: 858 billion cycles. Governance: 1.19 trillion cycles. Ledger: 1.41 trillion cycles. Swap: 68.5 billion cycles. Index: 2.46 trillion cycles. Archive: 870 million cycles. Total Consumption: 6.05637 trillion cycles per day Cost: At the current rat…

What SNS are you referring to? I think an SNS that has a lot of proposals / voting / reward distribution is burning more cycles, so would be good to know which SNS you are talk about. Also not sure if its due to a fee, but 1XDR = 1.30 USD = 1Tcycles so that would give different numbers.

Seers, we currently don’t have reward distribution. I’ve noticed that costs seem to be increasing recently, and it would be helpful to understand why. Are you working on Catalyze? How much are you guys spending on SNS canisters?

Is your SNS on the latest version? There were some improvements in Root, Governance, and Swap that should make it consume far fewer cycles recently. Are your numbers before or after switching to the latest?

[image] Mar: I just checked, and it seems that only two governance canister updates are missing. The numbers are from after our last upgrade. I’m surprised that the index canister consumes that much in particular, and I wonder if it is due to more people querying it and if there is a way to mit…

I’ll ask the FI team about the index canister. In the meantime, $9/day seems high according to cycleops . I’ll see what I can find out and update you.

Thanks. The numbers are taken from our private CycleOps dashboard. I asked about that table, and they told me it’s outdated.

I believe some further Index canister improvements are planned Indeed, we do have further improvements planned for the ledger suite canisters. At the moment we’re considering different options, since e.g., work on some short-term fixes would be made obsolete by work on some medium-term improvemen…
