A week or so ago, without me doing anything (as far as I remember), pacman stopped giving me updates altogether except for endeavouros packages.
Did the arch repository change?
Is it a problem with my mirrorlist?
Thanks for the help
The EnOS Welcome app has a feature to refresh Arch mirrors. You can select the best options for you there, via GUI.
guess that’s my bad, I never use the GUI.
It worked, thanks. For future similar problems, is there a way to update mirrors with a command line?
Sure is. The package is named reflector:

You can set up a cron-job for it’s service, or enable it to work on every boot.
You really shouldn’t need to change your mirrors that often. Find a good solid mirror - I value reliability over speed.
I’ve used my mirror almost exclusively for 4 years, and 2 distros. It’s a regional well known/regarded state university.
You may want to check this out on some basic maintenance via the command line.

lists the directly available tools (that can be started from the command line) for ranking mirrors in EndeavourOS.
