Too much L1 RPC requests during mainnet node syncing

[maxsiz]

I use this repo for run Blast mainnet node accordingly README.md

Hardware: 8 AMD (16 Core), RAM 64 Gb, 2TB SSD

1. Fiirst of all for 24 Hours node sync just ~120K blocks. Is it normal?
2. I noticed that during this time usage of my L! Ethereum rpc on Infura is increased. Now it is ~160K requests per hour. Is it normal too?

Checking blocks

curl -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://rpc.envelop.is:9545

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":0,"result":"0x1df96"}

Yup, I just gave up on using Infura/Alchemy for L1 because of the amount of request and ordered a 2nd server just to serve ETH. Funny thing is, my full (snap) ETH node was synced in 3-4 hours. Blast is a 3 months old chain and it will take 4-5 days to sync even if im not running archive.
