Why do I see unexpected traffic or missing usage stats on a new app?

If you deleted an old app and created a new one, it's normal to see traffic, compute unit (CU) usage, and Domain Allowlist behavior on the new app that looks different from what you were used to. This is expected, not a sign that your account has been compromised or drained.

Usage stats and Request Logs are scoped per app

Dashboard usage graphs and Request Logs are tied to a specific app, not to your account as a whole. When you delete an app, its historical usage data does not carry over to any app you create afterward. A brand-new app's usage graph stays empty until traffic actually starts flowing to that app's API key.

If you see requests appearing on a new app right after creating it, that traffic is almost always your own integration, since any code, script, or service still pointed at the new app's API key will keep sending requests as normal. To confirm this, open Request Logs and filter by App, Network, Method, and HTTP response code for the app in question. This lets you match the requests you're seeing against your own integration.

Domain, address, and IP allowlists

Each app has a Security tab where you can configure a Domain Allowlist, Address Allowlist, and IP Allowlist. These allowlists restrict which domains, contract or wallet addresses, or IP addresses are permitted to send requests using that app's API key. If an allowlist is enabled and empty or misconfigured, it can affect which requests are accepted. See How to Add Allowlists to Your Apps for Enhanced Security for how to view and configure these settings.

If something still looks wrong

If you've checked Request Logs for the app and the traffic doesn't match your own integration, or usage looks incorrect after reviewing the above, reach out to support@alchemy.com.
