eth_getFilterLogs on Ethereum
Returns all logs matching a filter created with eth_newFilter. A heavy, stateful method — needs a free API key.
Returns the whole backlog for a filter id in one shot — as heavy as eth_getLogs. Filters are node-local and expire when idle, so a stale id returns 'filter not found'; re-create it and retry.

Logs & events on Ethereum
Mainnet DeFi log density is high. Keep eth_getLogs windows to a few thousand blocks with tight address + topic filters — wide unfiltered ranges are the most common cause of slow queries, and each call costs 75 CU.
