I have the following setup for a geth clique POA network, however blocks are not mined. The network consists of two separated nodes which are both acting as an active sealer.
Sealer 1
Start Command
geth --nodiscover --rpc --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 8001 --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcapi "personal,db,eth,net,web3,txpool,miner" --networkid 1337 --allow-insecure-unlock --unlock 0 --password <(echo -n "password") --verbosity 5 --mine --minerthreads 1

Best Answer
Both sealers are configured with the same etherbase
0x933e73c3f959759c169effa4019c8faf7d05ce33.And the second sealers fails to sign blocks because it is locked:
You have to pass the sealer address with geth parameter
--miner.etherbase XXXX.
