12 hours? I thought if you fail audits the score would reflect it much faster. ---

This is a standard timeframe when the node will check-in for sure. It should update the reputation more often, how often is specified in the configuration. ```auto docker exec -it storagenode ./storagenode setup --help | grep "reputation" ``` The main info here - you need to have past logs before the noticeable fall in audits. If you use a default parameters, it should be between 4h-8h, or 12h for sure if there were an offline events. See ```auto docker exec -it storagenode ./storagenode setup --help | grep "often" ``` ---

Now at 99.21 % again. ---

Now at 99.83 %. Whatever the cause was, it must have been a short impact only and it’s no longer present. Very weird. ---

I have the same, the only error was as in the [GET\_REPAIR failed because of invalid signature](https://forum.storj.io/t/get-repair-failed-because-of-invalid-signature/16122) thread. But since your logs are gone we cannot verify that. ---

My 14th month old node has just got a 96.68 % audit score from [eu1.storj.io:7777](http://eu1.storj.io:7777) (and no other satellite), for the first time ever. No failed audits in the logs over the last several days. On the run\_earnings scripts it’s sayings it’s a 8.29% Disq (whatever that means). It’s running on ZFS and has had no crashes - only ever gracefully restarted on upgrade - guaranteed no missing files. Take it, it’s a satellite/internet connection issue if not a bug. ---

Actually looking in the logs, seems like eu1 is asking for a piece as part of a GET\_REPAIR that I’ve never had uploaded to me - well not uploaded to me in the last 366 days as I rotate logs at that point. That isn’t good… ---

> [@waistcoat](#): > > from [eu1.storj.io:7777](http://eu1.storj.io:7777) (and no other satellite), Yes it is very weird, that the score only dropped for this satellite. Meanwhile it keeps going back up and is at 99.98 %. [Previous page](https://forum.storj.io/t/audit-score-dropping-what-is-going-on/16124.md?page=1)
