Basic debugging: Try looking at each node more closely with pcp_node_info
https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/pcp-node-info.html Also make sure you are always using health_check https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/runtime-config-health-check.html Specific debugging: 2025-06-19 16:44:31.934: main pid 6248: LOG: reading status file: 1 th > backend is set to up status This would seem to indicate it's reading cached info about the state of the node, so you may need to remove the pgpool_status file. You can also tell pgpool to ignore it on startup via the -D or --discard-status flag.
