# getRecentPerformanceSamples
## getRecentPerformanceSamples — Recent performance samples
> Returns a list of recent performance samples in reverse slot order (most recent first). Performance samples are collected every 60 seconds and provide detailed metrics about network activity including transaction counts, slot progression, and timing information. Each sample represents a 60-second window of network activity and includes: Total number of transactions processed Number of non-vote transactions (user-initiated transactions) Number of slots that occurred during the sample period The slot number when the sample was taken\
> \*\*Parameters\*\*\
> \
> 0\. \`limit\` (optional) — Number of samples to return (1–720).
