There are 32 blocks in an epoch, not 64. At least you got a power of two. So that's nice. What happened was multiple clients, Prism specifically Antacu had this problem where if it received these sort of old attestations which caused Prism to replay a bunch of states. The beacon node was not able to respond to what the validators were asking to do. These weren't getting out the door because the client was so bogged down with trying to process these valid but untimely attestations. That's the gist of it. This happened to two clients Preston? And how many blocks are there in an epoch?"
