bitcoin core – bitcoind not downloading any new blocks

My bitcoind of model 26.0.0 is caught at a block roughly from August 1st:

bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo:

}

regardless that it’s related to a lot friends which have a recent view of the chain:

bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo:

[
  {
    ...
    "startingheight": 855489,
    ...
  },
  ...
]

The output of bitcoin-cli getchaintips:

Nonetheless, it’s not fetching any new blocks. No different debug.log jumps out as uncommon.
