Following up on the previous announcement: [Flow Mainnet Height Coordinated Upgrade on Jan 3rd at 22:00 UTC](https://forum.flow.com/t/flow-mainnet-height-coordinated-upgrade-on-jan-3rd-at-22-00-utc/8454)

The Height Coordinated Upgrade node is now complete.

Please update your **Access** and **Verification** node to **`v0.44.16-rc.1`**.

Alternate images: `v0.44.16-rc.1-without-adx`, `v0.44.16-rc.1-without-netgo-without-adx`, `v0.44.16-rc.1-arm`.

We will follow up with Execution node operators separately.

Thank you,
