This is what i am getting `cardano-cli query tip syncProgress
Invalid argument `syncProgress'

Usage: cardano-cli query tip 
            [ --shelley-mode
            | --byron-mode [--epoch-slots NATURAL]
            | --cardano-mode [--epoch-slots NATURAL]
            ]
            (--mainnet | --testnet-magic NATURAL)
            [--out-file FILE]

  Get the node's current tip (slot no, hash, block no)`

You don't have to run `cardano-cli query tip syncProgress`, only `cardano-cli query tip`. The `syncProgress`will be part of the output in your terminal.

Is the node fully synced? The CLI will show zero balance if the transaction that created the paid to that added has not been downloaded yet.

How do i know if the node is fully synced or not? I can see that this is going on `eb4cde7e343e83820321069f5df4b3dbf705feef741f19270a2b56404f43aa3a at slot 44463043

Use the `cardano-cli query tip` command to check if the node is synced, a `syncProgress` with the percentage value will appear there.

You will need your node to be synced to at least 4 days ago (Epoch 186, Block 3312024), when your transaction in the testnet took place. Otherwise it could be that what you are seeing is the status of your wallet in an older point in time.
