Returned to find my node offline and restarted to no avail

Read my last comment. I have already done that, no progress.

how long you run GE? and how much data you have there?

2.38TB and I issued the exit command an hour ago.

in my case GE from stephan bented with 200GB was about 2 days, and first 2-5 was no progress.

First 2-5 ? What does that mean ? Do you mean 2 to 5 hours ?

Sory 2-5h was no moove, as in beginning sattelite calculate what picies you need to return and it make it slow, as it has lot of other duties

If you no longer see it means that it hasn’t been the 6month mark yet.

or chack may be it was also DQ

That’s actually incorrect. The documentation clearly states that if a non-qualifying node is selected (node has not gained the minimum amount of months online to qualify for GE), it simply won’t allow the node to start the GE process. The node will still be available to be selected when a node exit command is issued, until such date they have cleared the threshold, then and only then will they be available for GE.

I already checked this before starting the GE process as mentioned many times above. The node was not disqualified from saltlake, otherwise I would not have bothered to start the GE process.
