What can be the reason for the Solid Milestone Index not to increase overtime?

Question

I have a node that always worked. When I do something like updating iri, for example, everything seems fine with it.

The problem is, in these cases, the "Solid Milestone Index" started to increase for a few milestones and now it's stuck in a certain index number (308077 this time).

What is the problem and how can I solve it?

I think you must be patient. I had it lag behind for about 15 minutes, then suddenly it was the same. — Daniel F, Dec 21 '17 at 20:25
you can also check in #botbox on slack whether the coordinator is having any issues (otherwise it should post there every minute) — mihi, Dec 21 '17 at 23:39

Two possibilities (but there may be others):

your neighbors are dead or not synchronized. In this case your node cannot synchronize with the Tangle. solution: find other neighbor. You may consider using Nelson to improve your connectivity to the network (check channel #nelson on the slack)
you run into a behavior that is suspected to be a bug in IRI https://github.com/iotaledger/iri/issues/428. solution: restart your node

Please add some explanations to these possibilities, maybe some indication to find out which is the culprit. Otherwise this is more a comment than an answer. – Helmar Dec 23 '17 at 19:39
Thank you for pointing out the inadequacy of my response, I have added some clarifications. This said, I can't comment other people posts at the moment because I don't have enough reputation. – youyou Dec 24 '17 at 06:38
