Of course, if your node is offline, the satellite can’t audit you. You will get disqualified if you lost data (GET_AUDIT and failed).
I didn’t understand the whole thread tbh. Disqualification for downtime is disabled at the moment. So sit back and relax 
Ah! 
yes true… sorry … there was a knot in my brain I guess. So if downtime is not checked / no penalty. As lost data is no topic for being offline.
Sorry for all this… I though that an audit that doesn’t get answered also fails …
it does fail, but only if the node is online and not answering.
