Are you syncing the node with a snapshot? If yes, which snapshot did you use?

The log seems normal to me, what's the issue here?

The log Looking for peers could appear as your maximum number of dialed peers have not been reached yet, so it will continue to look for peers.

eth.syncing is false is normal behaviour, it means that your node is up to date and is currently not syncing.

I used snapshot last year so i dont remember exact version and maintain the sync with pruning.

The latest block is few block behind even eth.syicing is false. If you see the timestamp, it has a long latency with new block sync.

[ update]
After I tried to remove /geth/nodes and restart node, i didnt see any peerCount. it showed 0 peerCount.
So I added a staticnode and it sync well with the staticnode only.

However, I still dont see any peerCount. It is 1 peerCount now.

Wait for a bit (1 or 2 hours) and see if the peer count increases. Do update us here again.

I still got 1 static peerCount.

It might be due to this:

Check the FAQ here.

Try creating a new nodekey file following the instruction and see if it works for you.

Thanks. I removed nodekey but still 1 peerCount.

Then it might be caused by some P2P networking issues.
