Description

I am submitting batch transactions to the counter contract from the Secret Network docs. As the number of messages included in the transaction increases, there is an increasing chance of encountering the following LCDResponseError: Status 500 - timed out waiting for tx to be included in a block. I assumed this meant that the transaction was not successful, however after querying the contract, it seems that the value was in fact increased.

What I Did

mk = MnemonicKey(mnemonic=my_mnemonic)
secret = LCDClient('http://testnet.securesecrets.org:1317', 'pulsar-2')
wallet = secret.wallet(mk)

COUNTER_ADDR = 'secret13uj6x7npak42gm9x8lqgsj4mjq6fpwphtwsp6f'

msg = {
    "increment": {}
}

fee = StdFee(gas=3_000_000, amount=Coins.from_data([{"amount": 250_000, "denom": "uscrt"}]))

def batch_tx():
    try:
        execute_msg = secret.wasm.contract_execute_msg(
            wallet.key.acc_address,
            COUNTER_ADDR,
            msg,
            None
        )

        msg_list = [execute_msg for _ in range(150)]

        signed_tx = wallet.create_and_sign_tx(
            msg_list,
            fee=fee,
            memo=''
        )

        tx = secret.tx.broadcast(signed_tx)
        print(tx)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Error: {e}')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    batch_tx()

count value before running the script: :100068200

Script output: Error: Status 500 - timed out waiting for tx to be included in a block

count value after running the script: 100068350
