zombie nodes and channels will always be there. Are all those nodes that went dead and now are marked as not usable. That's why you should not focus on the number of the zombies but on the number of online ones.
Here you can always check it out:

You will not have always the same number, but very close to it.
So it is normal to see this?
Yes that number is normal. The message I think is wrong. Instead of indicating the zombies number it should indicate that the online nodes number is wrong.
The zombie number do not affect your path finding, but the wrong number of online nodes yes.
That message is because your node is not syncing well with neutrino peers, so the EGS it also hang. So the app is alerting you that you should check your connection.
I had the se situation before deleting the data and restoring the whole wallet. No amount of reseting the graph or chosing low ping peers fixed that. And yes, the nubmer of channels was incorrect.
After deleting and restoring the wallet yhe zombie channels get cleaned up and are usually below 100.
I am quite sure that this is some kind of a bug in the wallet.
Then why all the zombie channels won’t go away with the updated ESG?
