I think due to the fact that we haven't had traffic on the rinkeby dapp for a while, the listener event-cache ends up querying very large ranges of block (100 of thousands of blocks) for logs. See the listener logs:

This causes a fairly large volume of requests to Alchemy (~6qps). Unfortunately those requests are fairly expensive and they are chewing our quota quite quickly.

As a stopgap, I have disabled the listener on Rinkeby since anyway the traffic shows nobody is using it.
