            Missed network slots are beyond your control. If this value is
            significantly higher than `missed`, it indicates that your validator
            is generally performing well, and most missed rewards are due to
            network issues rather than validator faults. 


            However, if both `missed` and `missed_including_missed_slots` are
            high, it suggests potential issues with your validator's setup or
            connectivity, leading to missed sync committee messages.
