FAQ and Troubleshooting

What happens if I don't call voteUnsubscribe?

The subscription remains active until WebSocket closes, consuming server resources. Always explicitly unsubscribe for proper cleanup.

Can I reuse a subscription ID after unsubscribing?

No. Each subscription ID is unique per WebSocket connection. Create new subscription with voteSubscribe if needed.

What does the boolean result mean?

true indicates successful unsubscription, false means the subscription ID wasn't found (already unsubscribed or never existed).

Related Methods

voteSubscribe
Creates vote subscription. Always paired with voteUnsubscribe; both are unstable methods requiring same validator flag for proper vote monitoring lifecycle.

slotUnsubscribe
Cancels slot subscription. Similar unsubscribe pattern; both follow standard WebSocket subscription lifecycle where unsubscribe methods take subscription ID and return boolean.
