Ahh that dreaded force close. It could just be a time thing the funds could unlock in 144 blocks.

its been over 2 months, well beyond 144/blocks

Try rebooting your node first

🤔 did you check the fee to close the channel? Sometimes the fee is so low the miners won’t pick it up

I remember encountering this a while ago, you may need to force your node to “re-scan” the chain to get its wallet synced

I once had a channel that didn’t close for 3 months it was a tiny channel that couldn’t get into the mempool

Check this thread https://community.umbrel.com/t/recovery-from-seed-no-balance/2789/9

Shows channel is confirmed and closed, funds delivered to these addresses shown here👇 https://mempool.space/tx/1327f9bc59e008d25da8e8e95e26b648767f83dc96da3781d3fea25914188b0d?mode=details What nostr:nprofile1qqsx8x8ptc6pdhsf8wtregu8s0f2v65k2l9s3ja6fup9gmxa2km0rfqpr4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucn4d3kxjumgvfhh2mn50yhxxmmdqyf8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetnqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqw7hp45 said; try a node reboot (download channel state backups first! In thunder hub or RTL), and see what it says If still nothing, update your distro (specifically lightning version) and see what it shows I'd check those addresses where the funds were delivered too and verify you have them If still having iasuses hmu👍

This too

If you have terminal access (ssh) there are command line tools to help know your state. For LND you could use 'lncli pendingchannels' to see if anything is hung. Itm.

Mainly this part https://community.umbrel.com/t/recovery-from-seed-no-balance/2789/9 rescan

Locktime: 537,516,257

I'd say that the channel is closed and you should be able to spend the UTxO. For some reason your lightning node might not be reflecting that. Try updating your lightning software which will probably also restart the service.

Though looking throught the transactions it looks to me like the sats are safe at their dedtination adressed. Betcha its a false pending status for some reason. Tyfyc. 😃

My bad, that's not it.

okay, I'll dig in, thanks!

Appreciate it, I'll dig in

This is why I gave up on LND

This helped me out while I had a limbo balance (with an unconfirmed pending closing channel) https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/recovery.md#forced-in-place-rescan And https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/4566
