I've had my BTC Node running for about three years now, and I've been digging into the BTC Blockchain and how nodes work. Here are some stats from my Node... It seems like my Node is dropping peers and then it shows a dormant wallet on the chain. 2024-08-11T19:44:35Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70016, blocks=856354, peer=2166 (outbound-full-relay) 2024-08-11T19:47:45Z Timeout downloading headers from peer=2121, disconnecting 2024-08-11T18:52:22Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70016, blocks=856347, peer=2067 (outbound-full-relay) 2024-08-11T18:58:52Z Timeout downloading headers from peer=2003, disconnecting 2024-08-11T18:20:15Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70016, blocks=856339, peer=1959 (outbound-full-relay) 2024-08-11T18:21:41Z Timeout downloading headers from peer=1922, disconnecting 2024-08-11T05:01:58Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70015, blocks=856256, peer=23 (outbound-full-relay) 2024-08-11T05:05:48Z Timeout downloading headers from peer=1, disconnecting 2024-08-11T05:22:27Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70016, blocks=856259, peer=59 (outbound-full-relay) 2024-08-11T05:22:35Z Timeout downloading headers from peer=37, disconnecting

Please provide more lines of your debug.log starting from the last "Bitcoin Core version..." line for us to see every configurations and possible errors in your setup. Snip all the repeated "New outbound.." and "Timeout" lines to shorten it. You can insert it inside [code][/code] tag if it's long. What do you mean by "included some stats"? And also this?

Unless this is an excessive amount of time outs that is making syncing impossible and it is persistent, There really is nothing strange about a connection timing out in a Peer to Peer network every once in a while. The other node could not be able to respond to a certain request (header, block, etc.) at any time which is when you see a time out error. Your client simply uses another peer to receive the same data from.

Check the timestamps, these logs you posted are from last year, so it won't match whatever behavior you are currently experiencing.

That's normal for a full node that's set to prune its blockchain. Your old year 2023 logs, although cut to the less important lines, has a clue that you've enabled "prune" setting. About the logs, those are the parts that I've instructed you to "snip" (remove) since those are not too important on debugging. Unfortunately, you haven't included the lines containing the configs/settings and other important lines. But if it's just about the "block removal" that you've mentioned, that's caused by "prune" config or "prune block storage to:" setting in the GUI.
