Hello everyone,
Some of you may have noticed something odd on the power consumption chart on the IC dashboard. At first glance, it might have looked like the IC suddenly became much more power efficient after the latest HostOS upgrade — but unfortunately, that’s not the case.
The real issue is that the recent HostOS update included a buggy version of the power monitoring tool, which caused the nodes to stop reporting power usage correctly. The good news is that most nodes also report a second, independent power measurement. The team is currently working on switching the dashboard to use that secondary source, and we expect the data to be back within the next 24h.
We’ve already identified the bug and have a fix lined up for the next HostOS upgrade, expected to roll out in about a month. Once that’s live, both power monitoring sources will be working again.
Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the confusion!
I will take your word for what it is. I thought it was due to the implementation of the Hedera Hash graph protocol reducing the carbon footprint.. Pretty coincidental. BTW, great dashboard..
