As of a few minutes ago I am getting Ping errors Like this: ``` `2020-01-16T15:17:34.743Z ERROR contact:chore ping satellite failed {"Satellite ID": "118UWpMCHzs6CvSgWd9BfFVjw5K9pZbJjkfZJexMtSkmKxvvAW", "attempts": 11, "error": "ping satellite error: rpccompat: dial tcp 78.94.240.189:7777: connect: connection refused", "errorVerbose": "ping satellite error: rpccompat: dial tcp 78.94.240.189:7777: connect: connection refused\n\tstorj.io/common/rpc.Dialer.dialTransport:242\n\tstorj.io/common/rpc.Dialer.dial:219\n\tstorj.io/common/rpc.Dialer.DialAddressID:138\n\tstorj.io/storj/storagenode/contact.(*Chore).pingSatelliteOnce:154\n\tstorj.io/storj/storagenode/contact.(*Chore).pingSatellite:124\n\tstorj.io/storj/storagenode/contact.(*Chore).updateCycles.func1:103\n\tstorj.io/common/sync2.(*Cycle).Run:87\n\tstorj.io/common/sync2.(*Cycle).Start.func1:68\n\tgolang.org/x/sync/errgroup.(*Group).Go.func1:57"}` ``` It seems to me the [stefan-benten.de](http://stefan-benten.de) satellite is down. Can anybody confirm or should I be looking for a problem on my end? ---

Same for me, satellite down and massive traffic drop on my node. ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/2/2230508dd4e82f6f3414c08319bb5528e1a1823d.png) ---

Thanks for the quick replies. I had some issues with my storagenode today and was not sure if I broke something. Let’s hope it comes back up again and the traffic resumes… ---

May be it is on update as was told before, storj is mooving to other database on some point this month. In this case Announcment will prevent panic, as Sattelites supposed to be not kilable. ---

The traffic was restored for a short time, and again disappeared… Apparently, there are some structural changes, most likely related to the launch of production. ---

It was a connection leak. I will have to run some tests to find the reason. Don’t worry the tardigrade satellite will automatically restart so that customers will not notice it. Stefan is running his satellite without that because otherwise we woudn’t even notice these kind of bugs. ---
