Hello,
So I have an issue and I don't even understand how this is happening. I have a node that was working well. I am not even sure that the problem is with the node. So when I connect my watch only wallet to public servers then in some wallets I have less sats and others I have more. If I connect to my node the same thing happens. Which one is correct ? The difference in the amounts are huge. Is there something that I did wrong ? I am not an expert just did always everything by following others who seems know much more than me.

Is this lightning or BTC node?
If Lightning node: It may be the Total Commit value (which will change as fee goes up and down)
If BTC node: As a starting point spot check some of your individual address on mempool tool (preferably a self hosted one so you don't give up privacy) and see if you can find an address that shows different then in your wallet.

You have unconfirmed incoming or outgoing transactions? That could be explaination as mempool size limits may be different on different nodes.

If you run lightning this can be the reason as different wallets can show different onchain balance. I had it with umbrel.

Thank you. I am only talking about on chain transactions now. But once again it is good to know, thank you for pointing out.

So, different wallets are displaying different amounts of coins?
Can you tell us what wallets are you using please.
Can you provide some screenshots aswell?

Sorry, maybe I did not explain it in details. So I am using sparrow and I have multiple wallets because of the passphrases.

The story again: I am using sparrow wallet and with cold card. I have multiple wallets because of I am using several passphrases. When I open the wallets via connected to public servers then I see X number of sats. When I connect my wallets via my node I see that some of my wallet has more sats and others less compared to what I witnessed during public server connection. I am interested to know why is this happening? Which is showing the correct amount of sats (public or my node connection)? Why not both of them shows the same ?

Is your bitcoin node fully synced? Sounds like it’s off. You could load up an address on mempool.space and see what they say the balance is. I would think their answer is correct and your personal node is out of sync.

There was a two blocks delay... it looks like my node is becoming slower and slower to syncronise anyway thank you for sharing, it never happened with me before
