Very Few Mempool Unconfirmed Transactions

Support and Troubleshooting
1

My Umbrel mempool currently has 5599 unconfirmed transactions, but Mempool.space has 77275 unconfirmed transactions.

My node has been 100% synched for several weeks and is connected to 33 peers.

Can anyone advise why my node has so few unconfirmed transactions?

Thanks.

You may need to increase your maxmempool in bitcoin.conf

Thanks for this suggestion. My maximum mempool size is set at the default of 300mb.

Right now it’s only using 4.58mb out of the 300mb.
