getFeeCalculatorForBlockhash

Deprecated: This method is deprecated. Use getFeeForMessage with getLatestBlockhash instead.

Returns the fee calculator associated with the query blockhash, or null if the blockhash has expired. This method has been deprecated as part of the transition from the legacy fee model to the newer message-based fee calculation. Use getFeeForMessage combined with getLatestBlockhash for current fee estimation in all new applications.
