hello Flow **Consensus** node operators,

Flow mainnet has run into an issue and transaction sealing has stopped.

We have identified the issue and resolved it on the Flow Foundation nodes.

Please run the following commands on each of your Flow Consensus nodes and restart the node:

1. Download the util and untar

```auto

gsutil cp gs://flow-genesis-bootstrap/tools/v0.46.2-util-remove-execution-fork/util.tar .

tar -xvf util.tar

```

1. Move the util to the flow directory

`cp util /var/flow/util-remove-execution-fork`

1. Stop the node

`systemctl stop flow-consensus` (if you are using systemctl) or just stop the docker container directly.

1. Run the command

`/var/flow/util-remove-execution-fork remove-execution-fork`

1. Please remove these flags (entirely) if you have it set:

- `emergency-sealing-active=true`
- `required-construction-seal-approvals=0` (or any other value)

If you don’t have those flags, then no action is required for this step.

1. Start the node

`systemctl start flow-consensus` (if you use systemctl) or just start the docker container directly.

This should recover the node and it should start catching up.

Please reach out to us on Discord if you have any questions or need help.

Please treat this as an **urgent** request.

Thank you,  
Flow Foundation

PS: No action required from any other node operators.
