Hello,
I am trying to call a public function of a contract to display some data to the user. I am using web3.js to create a Contract object and call() a method. Everything works on my local node but Infura complains about gas. To be clear, this code is simply running a method call in the node’s local EVM, not sending a transaction to be included in the blockchain, so I’m not sure why a gas limit is relevant. I have tried passing various gas arguments but Infura seems to cap it at 19981536.
If I run estimateGas() on the method, it returns about 39000000. Infura won’t even let estimateGas() finish so I also did that on my local Geth node.
Everything was working with Infura a week ago, so my guess is either the method call recently went over Infura’s call gas limit (due to state changes on mainnet), or Infura recently changed the call gas limit.
So, can Infura comment on whether there is a gas limit for eth_call? Is this in the docs somewhere? Does Infura+ increase it?
Thanks
