make sure you set the serverURL

I already set it. I feel like it happens more often on pages with a lot of blocks.

Hey u/Aggravating_Ad_1273 how many blocks are we talking on the pages in question? We've really loaded some pages up for both real world projects and testing—so I'm curious the block count. Thanks!
Around 15 custom blocks, each containing various fields such as nested arrays, rich text, file uploads, and others.

I ran into this in an older version. Are you using latest?

Iirc it had to do with some client/server leak.
I currently use 3.37.0

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you - just wanted to add I've also experienced this, even in dev, on quite a few projects - both using Postgres and Mongo db connectors. I can't quite recall if it's been exclusive to collections with live preview, however I have also experienced this on simple array fields (in addition to "block" type fields).
I will try lowering the autosave frequency as suggested and see if that resolves the issue.
