If you have poor uptime you want to choose good peers that are aware of your nodes habits and are okay with the downtime. Your peers can always close or force close on you. Regular closes are fine. Force closes can lock up funds for a few weeks. Worst case scenario is your node is offline for multiple weeks during that force close window and does not attest to channel state in time and loses the funds in that channel.

But only if your peer lies to the Blockchain about the channel closing balance. Not many people have the skill to do this.

So I’m assuming (with limited knowledge in lightning channels) the downside to this is that when my peers regularly close the channel d/t excessive downtime(s), I’d have to pay the default fee required to open a new channel every single time?
