I’ve confirmed this is a new bug in Alchemy introduced sometime within the past 24 hours. I haven’t been able to get a hold of anyone at Alchemy yet; if anyone here knows someone at Alchemy please send them the link to this issue!

In the meantime you can use ganache’s built-in forking nodes for mainnet, ropsten, kovan, rinkeby, goerli (görli), and sepolia via ganache --fork <network name>; ganache’s built-in nodes provide free archive support and a very high per-IP rate limit. For other chains, like Arbitrum, Optimism, etc, you can sign up for an Infura account and use an Infura node URL instead of your alchemy node URL, e.g., ganache --fork.url <URL>.

It looks like Alchemy has stopped responding to the “earliest” block tag which Ganache fetches on startup. I’ll try to get in touch with someone from alchemy today to see if they can fix this. Thank you for all of the reports.
