Injective Mainnet node sync is unstable and slow

[arjunbhut]

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been running an Injective RPC node that was always in sync until recently. Over the past few days, the node has started to lag behind significantly and takes much longer to catch up. My hardware specifications are more than sufficient:

RAM: 128 GB
CPU: 12 cores
Storage: 3TB NVMe

I’m running the enterprise edition of NVMe drives and have confirmed that disk health is fine.

I’ve attached a graph that shows the node’s performance over time—it was consistently in sync before, but the lag has become noticeable now.

Does anyone know what might be causing this sudden delay? Are there any known issues or configuration changes that could be contributing to the problem, and what steps might help resolve it?

I also have around 35 peers and also tried updating the addrbook from polkachu and also tried letting pex auto discover the peers but still lag is persistent.

Below is the graph and my system usage which might help in debugging.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
