Hi: I’ve just realized that a few days after I started Graceful Exit on July, my node was disqualified on Saltlake satellite and I don’t know why. Anyone could help me? Besides, I would like to finalize the Graceful Exit as soon as possible and, apart of that satellite, it’s pending for europe-north-1 one. Anyone knows why it’s still pending? Thanks and cheers! ---

Yes, the satellite has been decommissioned and any held amount returned. ---

In such a case, this will then also result in a failed graceful exit and loss of the held back amount on the satellite you were running the graceful exit for**. So the reason is likely that your node has failed more than 10% of transfers. As @Stob suggested, you need to search for transfer errors and errors like “file not found” (search for “graceful”/“piecetransfer” and “ERROR”/“failed”). To calculate a number of failed transfers you need to filter logs by “piecetransfer” and group them by PieceID and “ERROR”/“transferred”. Please note - the node will attempt to transfer each piece at least 5 times before it will be considered as a failed transfer, so you need to calculate only failed transfers which have 5 attempts for the same PieceID. You may also give me a NodeID and I can provide you with exact numbers, however I cannot provide a reason - it’s stated only in your logs. ---

Thanks, @Stob, for your answer. I can confirm that satellite returned me the held amount. ---

Thanks, @Alexey, for your answer, as well. Since, I’m not an expert, here you have the NodeID: 12oV5bdzCtFrxTequKDkkTBjH8Pd4Cf62sEfDNBPAJUUDuTT5zo. With the information you provide me, I’ll try to search for on logs. In any case, it’s clear for me I’ve lost the held amount in that satellite. Well, it’s a pity! ---

It’s transferred 10,820 pieces and failed to transfer 2,235 pieces, pretty high fail rate I would say. Either your node has corrupted data, or your connection was terrible bad. For example, for US1 it’s transferred 494,039 pieces and 0 failed. ---

I’m facing the same issue on a small node (ID: `1G7CA8T8NwUYLibFqR85TUpXEXKKbwFDLz93srFMPgRDpcvzFj`) that I’m currently graceful-exiting: It got disqualified a few days ago on Saltlake: ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/1/14fb6670abe7f03337cf9bb045f505ea10697aad.png) There are a few things I don’t get: - It failed although all scores are perfect on the dashboard, as shown above - I thought that with the new graceful-exit mechanism, the node was not supposed to transfer files anymore and simply had to stay online for 30 days? If I check the exit-status on this node, it tells me the following: ```auto # docker exec -it storj_node_5 /app/storagenode exit-status --config-dir /app/config 2023-10-14T21:42:11Z INFO Configuration loaded {"process": "storagenode", "Location": "/app/config/config.yaml"} 2023-10-14T21:42:11Z INFO Anonymized tracing enabled {"process": "storagenode"} 2023-10-14T21:42:11Z INFO Identity loaded. {"process": "storagenode", "Node ID": "1G7CA8T8NwUYLibFqR85TUpXEXKKbwFDLz93srFMPgRDpcvzFj"} Domain Name Node ID Percent Complete Successful Completion Receipt saltlake.tardigrade.io:7777 1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE 15.83% N 0a483046022100e35f852b2beadd3696ff4aa206dde97524c09e88470d75f9c47c9db9d48a3feb022100cf4d9d875d07320a50724f8fa6156f8d4cf1036e0727958ee70327ccdc50ff1710021a207b2de9d72c2e935f1918c058caaf8ed00f0581639008707317ff1bd0000000002220224d400222d8bb705507ddebe3bb8381a8d34edf85600ca604011670000000002a0c08b9e29ca906108baab0d203 ap1.storj.io:7777 121RTSDpyNZVcEU84Ticf2L1ntiuUimbWgfATz21tuvgk3vzoA6 100.00% Y 0a473045022100979aa4f52bdad116144a4d1e4ef160a99af8c8608065a5464237040ca6a94ef002204d0b5d2d07fdbc69049001aea5512413225f8fd2f0c394f7d97515441696d404122084a74c2cd43c5ba76535e1f42f5df7c287ed68d33522782f4afabfdb400000001a20224d400222d8bb705507ddebe3bb8381a8d34edf85600ca60401167000000000220c08e78785a90610ec87f08a01 us1.storj.io:7777 12EayRS2V1kEsWESU9QMRseFhdxYxKicsiFmxrsLZHeLUtdps3S 100.00% Y 0a473045022036280c2dd40a2647ab86cc7722deb8f551dbe6d43fa88fa29b72eff0ab3d8b06022100efa22d0fac30af1280d853684df3c049f4c19ca9c6995aa5d0ab7db3c96b9ef81220a28b4f04e10bae85d67f4c6cb82bf8d4c0f0f47a8ea72627524deb6ec00000001a20224d400222d8bb705507ddebe3bb8381a8d34edf85600ca60401167000000000220c08c8b9fea80610ee9deff501 eu1.storj.io:7777 12L9ZFwhzVpuEKMUNUqkaTLGzwY9G24tbiigLiXpmZWKwmcNDDs 100.00% Y 0a47304502202d2a568f6a9f5e02aae4eb51444bc109cb5e5b1521373dfbd1f0a4e3f3f87ee7022100a14894756d0e0ac1a5f69259fc14c512eb65a44e38e50be4f738561eef370ba01220af2c42003efc826ab4361f73f9d890942146fe0ebe806786f8e71908000000001a20224d400222d8bb705507ddebe3bb8381a8d34edf85600ca60401167000000000220c08f6acfea80610aec9dbf001 ``` I see some percentages above although I thought they were not meant to be used anymore.

Yes, you may try to reduce these parameters, save the config and restart the node. ---

Thanks for your unfailing help, as always @Alexey. Tried with 2 and 2. Still had quite a lot of errors. I’m now down to 1 and 1, and although logs look better than with default values, there are still many errors. RaspbianOS is pretty chill right now (`load average: 0.36, 0.26, 0.28` and an average constant upload of 2MiB/s). I don’t know what else I can do… This graceful-exit mechanism seems pretty unreliable, I’m glad we’re moving to the shiny new one soon! 🙂 Too bad I misunderstood that it wasn’t live yet… that’s my bad. ---

Hi again, @Alexey! After the graceful exit was done a few months ago, I’ve been waiting for receiving a few dollars that are undistributed. Do you know why I haven’t received them yet? Thanks in advance! ---

They are subject of the Minimum Payout Threshold. If your undistributed amount is lower, they will hold until they can clear a threshold. You have three options: 1. Run a new node with the same wallet address, it will eventually collect enough to clear a threshold 2. If you have an identity of this node, you may [opt-in for zkSync](https://docs.storj.io/node/payouts#zk-sync-layer-2-transactions) (it has a lower threshold) 3. Wait until the transaction fee could become lower in the first two weeks of every month. The last time the threshold was: > [@January 5, 2024, December payouts complete](https://forum.storj.io/t/january-5-2024-december-payouts-complete/24848/1): > > the pipeline was able to pay out for people who earned $10.37 or more. I would also recommend to check your wallet, you actually may receive the undistributed amount, and you see it only for decommissioned satellites, see > [@Undistributed Payouts from old satelites](https://forum.storj.io/t/undistributed-payouts-from-old-satelites/24632): > > Hi there In my dashboard I have undistributed payouts of the old taken offline satelites that wont be paid out. I already received 3 payouts since and its still there. I am 99% sure its from the old test sattelites that were taken offline. I did let run the clean out process since there were a few 100 GBs left from them. I am talking about 9 cent only, but if this is the case with all nodes, we might talking about a few k USDs. What does one have to do to get those payouts? Thank you ---

Thanks for clarification. I wasn’t sure the reason was due to the minimum payout threshold or the graceful exit. The undistributed amount is the same that was before I did the graceful exit, so I’m sure it’s not related to decommissioned satellite. So, I’ve just opted in for zkSync in order to get the pending amount. Thanks again for your fast and efficient support! Cheers! ---

Hi again @Alexey: Since last contact, I’ve been waiting for the undistributed payout. After opt-in for zkSync, I received a part of the pending amount, but rest less than $2 since then. Do you know why I haven’t received the total amount? If I uninstall the node (Graceful Exit is finished), will I receive that amount? Thanks and best regards. ---

However, your databases may do not have receipts for decommissioned satellites > [@Announcement: Storj to shut down europe-north-1 and us2](https://forum.storj.io/t/announcement-storj-to-shut-down-europe-north-1-and-us2/22956): > > Hello Storage Node Operators! Important: This includes an announcement that we will be shutting down two satellites: europe-north-1, and us2. See below for details. First of all thank you all so much for your engagement on the forum. The discussions up to now about SNO payouts and infrastructure costs have been productive and have given us insight into your perspective, which has strongly influenced the path we are following. To continue down this path we have decided to sunset two of our non… This may happen, if the released held amount from them was not enough to clear the Minimum Payout Threshold that time, but was able to clear it after one or two payout cycles later, when these satellites were shutdown already, thus they were not able to send you receipts. You may check your payout history on the dashboard around this time and find transactions from these satellites. ---

Thanks for the info. You’re right and it was due to those 2 decommissioned satellites. I didn’t surpass the Minimun Payout Threshold. Best regards!
