I think those requirements are misunderstood a lot. I have only seen one person report that the GE actually failed. So that leads me to believe it’s not nearly as bad as some people think.

that may be… ill give it another look sometime soon… tho personally i don’t plan to GE
imma gonna crash and burn baby!!!
hopefully a long long time from now…

Hi,
Just an update and a question.
For the following satellites is status is like so.

However, when I rerun the exit-satellite command the following are displayed:
docker exec -it storagenode /app/storagenode exit-satellite --config-dir /app/config --identity-dir /app/identity

By starting a graceful exit from a satellite, you will no longer receive new uploads from that satellite.
This action can not be undone.
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/n]

So there are 2 satellites remaining for GE. But after a few minutes the progress of those satellites is not available, somehow they disappear and the exit-status command only shows the satellites GE is already finished. Any hint?
They are newer satellites and your node needs to be of some “age” (6months/15months) to be able to qualify for GE on them.

yeah it’s 6 months currently, and will go back to 15 months at some point, and it can be a bit buggy to my understanding, still not a finished feature.
This is a wrong assumption. We have had enough successful GE of nodes.
As you know, usually people post on forum in case of problems, it’s a very rare to have a positive post like

I have started exit. 1-hour passed and still have 0% for all 4 satillies. Other problem i have stared 6 satilliets, but 2 were disappered and if i start exit again i see them in list. Is that ok? But free space look like growing if check the dashboard
you have to reach 6 months on a satellite to be able to GE… atleast 1 of the remaining 2 where added within the last 6 months, so this is most likely the cause for why you cannot GE them remaining.
So if i GE from satellite that hold ammoount of summ, it will pay me, doesn’t matter if i’ll stay with outher satellites?
This is only the case if you are successful at a GE if your node isnt at least 6 months old with each satellite it will not perform a GE and it will tell you that you can’t run it till a certain date.
The satellites have to collect the data on which pieces your node should transfer. This takes a little time. It will then send out tasks for your node to complete in batches.
The satellites you exit will pay out their held back amount independent of satellites you don’t exit. But you won’t get the held back amount from the satellites you can’t yet exit. It’s up to you whether you want to keep them running until you can.
I believe there should be probably docker in the begining or/and some other options?
Tried to GE on of the nodes, but of course get this error:
$ storagenode exit-satellite
storagenode: command not found
T.Y.
Should i stop current running docker container or should i run “exit-satellite” on the running one?
P.S. I’ve made search on this forum, looked at almost all topics about GE as well checked documentation.storj.io, but did not found clear GE examples as for the installation 
thank you. But you’ve pointed in to the same topic, that we are now 
FYI, if you try to do graceful exit when your node is not eligible yet, you will get no warning and it’ll show 0%. If you restart the node, there will be an error message at start saying you are not eligible, and graceful exit is stopped.
This node is older then 6 months. It joined network on 2019-11.
And it have 100% audit checks with all satellites.
So should be fine?
