Hey guys, Had some issues on on BP node which are now resolved, Although I noticed my pledge amount is not met anymore? Did something happen to the funds? In the BP Node i originally deposited 545 ADA. currently balance is 39429445. Yesterday it said the Pledge was met. So I am not sure what I have done. ---

Also i would like to know why my BP Node has Multiple incoming traffic? This should only be my relay right? Topology is correct and only shows my relay details. Any tips would be great. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/d/c/dc709a843b5a3d235df5fa99191cbfbb65114f6d.png) ---

Thanks Alex, This must be the difference of the ADA pool registration fee of 500, I will transfer more shortly. Also, I am running out of ideas… I have been trying to install topologyUpdater on my relay node as i have now closed all ports to the Block and it is working as intended, After trying multiple times with ENV settings i think i finally fixed it but I now have a "Please do no send more then 1 request per hour issue, So i cannot update it and my relay and BP node have stop processing TX. Any recommendations on what to do? for the relay i am using /home/“userid”/cnode, All my files are in folders in so for example Scripts, Config & db etc etc. So i have set these in the ENV, and i can only try a change every hour at the moment is that right? Thanks ---

U can add the topology updater In crontab to run each hour Or u can check this script (step 14 I believe) > **[Guide: How to build a Cardano Stake Pool](https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-ada/guide-how-to-build-a-haskell-stakepool-node)** > > On Ubuntu/Debian, this guide will illustrate how to install and configure a Cardano stake pool from source code on a two node setup with 1 block producer node and 1 relay node. ---

Ok so , It started processing TX, Although I noticed it has stopped over the last 20 minutes, I think I have a memory issue and will need to increase it until i migrate it to another provider and it will be 150USD a month with AWS. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/4/e/4e6c8cd7e90e1755f5f238bd3244a569700e10c5.png) Also what does the ! meen near my relay ? in the below screen shot on pooltools ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/1/4/145704f97d445aec17111d43f4be5a89192228f9.png) ---

It will be green if u have IN connections and processing TX That red sign means the relay is offline but it will update later to green [Next page](https://forum.cardano.org/t/stake-pool-pledge-missing/62688.md?page=2)
