One out of my two relay doesn’t work now and I cannot find it in the topology updater in the link below.

[https://explorer.mainnet.cardano.org/relays/topology.json](https://explorer.mainnet.cardano.org/relays/topology.json)

I noticed my CPU run over 100%. I have restarted my node as well as restarting my O/S. Both not working and my relay is still in the same state.  
Please advise how to troubleshoot and resolve it.

ok, these are the old binari files (1.29.0)  
delete them

cd …  
rm -R bin

now restart the node and check glive (wait for the node to start)

Hi Alex,  
Amazing, you know exactly where the problem is. My Relay back to normal and synch to the blockchain.  
Thanks a lot!
