[Bug]: 2.3.2 instantly maximum transmission duty cycle and high chUtil

[francisuk1989]

Category

LoRa - 868MHz

Hardware

Heltec Wireless Tracker v1.1

Firmware Version

2.3.2.63df972 Alpha

Description

Upgraded to 2.3.2 last night with a full wipe and i was sending a message in the default channel and i suddenly got maximum transmission normally i never got this message in the previous builds as im using a standard antenna out the box and only seem to pickup just one node.

So next morning i have tried to send another message again but just got a instant cross over a the cloud, Also my node in the android app is ChUtil 0.0 and AirUtilTX 0 0

I have also tried the option "override due cycles" just to test if anything works but nothing.

Edit
I have factory reset the node again and Setup my Name, Wireless and LoRa via serial on https://client.meshtastic.org
I connected to my android phone to the node and sent a message and i can see my chUtil going from 0.7 my AirUtilTX stays at 0.1% and watching it in the app i can see chUtil jumping to 1.7, 2.4 and the highest is been is 13.2

I have checked on a SDR at around 869.400 but i can only see my node sending packets, And nothing around me explains why my chUtil is going so high again i never experienced this in previous builds.

Relevant log output

Do you have MQTT downlink enabled?

Can you show the serial logs with the CLI command meshtastic --noproto or any serial monitor on baud 115200?

Do you have MQTT downlink enabled?

Yes for MQTT but only set to Uplink only in Channels and also ignore MQTT is set under LoRA

Can you show the serial logs with the CLI command meshtastic --noproto or any serial monitor on baud 115200?

Give me around 2 hours and i will give send the serial logs but just wonted to say about MQTT.

I don’t see anything special in that log. It shows you tried to send a message, but after a while no one acknowledged it. Is the issue still happening?
With which app/client are you connecting to the node?

Not got the maximum transmission since factory reset yet.

Max retransmit means nobody got your message, has nothing to do with the duty cycle.

the whole issue was just a sudden message of "maximum transmission" but since i not get that message again then i cant debug it.

never mind.
