title: "Parachains-Aura: Only produce once per slot" doc: - audience: Node Dev description: | With the introduction of asynchronous backing the relay chain allows parachain to include blocks every 6 seconds. The Cumulus Aura implementations, besides the lookahead collator, are building blocks when there is a free slot for the parachain in the relay chain. Most parachains are still running with a 12s slot duration and not allowing to build multiple blocks per slot. But, the block production logic will be triggered every 6s, resulting in error logs like: "no space left for the block in the unincluded segment". This is solved by ensuring that we don't build multiple blocks per slot. crates: - name: "cumulus-client-consensus-aura"
