user255: As hinted by the title, I've requested 1000 tAda from the faucet and according to what's here the funds is in the wallet.
But when I query the address on my testnet, it returns no result.
What am I possibly missing?

user4497: I had this happen yesterday and been troubleshooting since. Turned out my node was technically "synced" but spitting out errors in the log. (above 90%) I have a question out there about the error but have a hunch its because I need to update the cli/node to the latest verified release. Which I'm doing now. Below I outline a method you can use to run and verify your node is running properly. Pre-reqs is you already have the node dependencies installed as outlined in the dev portal.
If you want to see the logs I use nohup and "&" to run the node in the background (On linux, I'm running Debian). I put my cardano-node command in a script like this and name the file run-node.sh
#!/bin/bash

cardano-node run \
   --topology $YOURPATH/cardano/testnet-topology.json \
   --database-path $YOURPATH/cardano/db \
   --socket-path $YOURPATH/cardano/db/node.socket \
   --host-addr 0.0.0.0 \
   --port 1337 \
   --config $YOURPATH/cardano/testnet-config.json

Then you make sure the file is executable by running
chmod +x ./run-node.sh

Then you can run your script and get logs using this command...
nohup ./run-node.sh &

Then you can just run the following to check the logs and verify if there are any errors. (Ctrl-C to exit)
tail -f nohup.out

Oh and if you want to kill that process you can run
ps -aux

which will lay out all your processes. Use the PID of your cardano-node command and kill the process. Simple way to do that is to run
kill -9 $YOUR_PROCESS_PID 

Sorry if this answer is a little overkill.
