> If you don't do this, when trying to retrieve data in a few minutes, you'll see a response saying `"result": "header: syncing in progress: localHeadHeight: 94721, requestedHeight: 2983850"`. You'll either need to let the node sync to the `requestedHeight`, or use quick sync with trusted hash to do this.

:::warning Historical Queries
94+
Default light nodes no longer support historical queries. By default, nodes maintain a sliding window of headers, bounded by Tail and Head headers. Requests with height below the Tail are rejected (This is, however, temporary, and lazy header fetching will be available with Backward Sync).
95+
96+
To retain the ability to request older queries with light nodes, use the new configuration fields to set an absolute header that the node will sync from, either the `Header.Syncer.SyncFromHeight` or the `Header.Syncer.SyncFromHash` field.
