# Continuing on The Ephemery Reset Feature

Over the last two weeks I've opened a PR to resolve the feedback with the last PR for Ephemery reset functionality. Luckily, the comments on the code didn't require a major change. Needed to move the implementation into the `Runner.java` class. Also changes in logging order to avoid users getting confused on logging messages. Recently realized some warnings don't let the PR be verified, so I opened another PR to resolve the issue.

Other than that, I've been busy with preparing tests for the related PR.

#### My observation on the Ephemery restart

Last week we had another Ephemery cycle (28 days), and I spotted that it sounds like at the end of the cycle my execution client doesn't peer with other nodes. This is only on my system and the Besu execution client. It made me kind of curious why this happened. I don't have an answer for it now, but I will be checking on this on the next cycle as well. On Teku also the number of peers dropped, but I got a few peers at least. On both clients, everything got back to normal right after the new cycle.
