Miner info height higher than blockchain height from API

[shawaj]

Have noticed on occasion that the miner height from miner info height is higher than the blockchain height from the API - is there some lag in the API perhaps?

@shawaj this is ok. The API has to consume data that goes through a transformation process so it's not as up to date as running the command directly against the blockchain.

That's correct.. the status field in the api is based on gossip and not on-chain data. It is laggy and can be delayed for quite a while. We're trying to find ways to represent how in sync your hotspot is without having accurate data at all times.

That's no problem, we will put some error handling in the local diagnostics so this higher than 100 percentage doesn't confuse things 👍

Thanks very much
