Filtering for past events is making lots of eth_getBlockByNumber and hitting Alchemy API limits

    const instantContract = new ethers.Contract(
      contractAddress,
      ABI.MoneyinstantABI.withDrawEvent, // abi provided below
      provider
    );

    async function getData(): Promise<void> {
     // address is one of the indexed params of the event as shown in abi below
      const withdrawEvent = instantContract.filters.InstantWithdraw(address);
      try {
        const withdrawTx = await instantContract.queryFilter(
          withdrawEvent,
          fromBlock,
          toBlock
        );
}

// ABI is here
 public static withDrawEvent = [
    {
      anonymous: false,
      inputs: [
        {
          indexed: true,
          internalType: "address",
          name: "recipient",
          type: "address",
        },
        {
          indexed: false,
          internalType: "uint256",
          name: "amount",
          type: "uint256",
        },
        {
          indexed: false,
          internalType: "address",
          name: "tokenAddress",
          type: "address",
        },
      ],
      name: "InstantWithdraw",
      type: "event",
    },
  ] as const;

Running this makes about 80 networks calls with provider for "eth_getBlockByNumber", when the start and end block are just for a difference for 2 days.

Is there anything I am doing wrong, or is this expected. I want to filter the events based on the calendar dates and the recipient.

It shouldn’t call blockNumber at all for a query.

Are you sure you don’t have any events being checked for?

Thank you for pointing it out, there seems to be some issue with getting nearest block from Date
