Akash provider endpoint changes versus identity changes
A provider endpoint change is different from an akash1 identity change. A new access URL alone does not establish a new earnings history. A new identity likewise does not prove that old leases migrated automatically.
What to check
Preserve the old address, endpoint, change time and official lease identifiers. After the change, compare the directory identity, then inspect each lease in the provider console. Editing a nickname or saved monitoring record affects organization only; it does not execute an on-chain migration or amend contract terms.
Example
Example: the same akash1 provider changes its API domain and temporarily becomes unreadable. Check the endpoint and last successful observation. Neither zeroing old revenue nor duplicating the provider follows from a different URL.
