Itβs supposed to close, you should probably try to recover the channel status though as well.
And Do not put the seed in multiple times because thereβs a possibility of losing channel status.
Trust me, I lost channel status and recovering your BTC becomes drastically harder.
Im thinking the channel will close and sats sent to my on chain wallet but im not sure.
Recover the channel status, let it close, and wait for the sats to come back.
DO NOT PUNCH THE SEED IN MULTIPLE TIMES!
If you delete, and reinstall multiple times in a rapid succession Zeus there's a potential risk of losing your sats.
Channel status matters!
Go to the backups, and make sure your LN channels all have a status, if you're missing the channel(s) that had your sats you're going to have to do a bunch of complex steps to get them back.
I'm talking from experience, trying to save you the emotional nightmare.
I only reinstalled the app once and put in my seed phrase once but I uninstalled the app with an open channel. And when I reinstalled the app, I put in my words, and obviously the channel didn't appear. And I never backed up my channels. So my question is, does that channel close automatically in the future?
Or is there a way to recover that channel?
I've only restored my wallet once. I'm not gonna do it multiple times but still no channel has showed up. And I don't think it's gonna show up. My question is, will that channel close in the future?
Make sure the channel shows up in the Pending or Closed tab in your Channels list view. Otherwise run through Embedded node > Disaster recovery > Initiate advanced until it shows up.
DO NOT uninstall as the other commenter mentioned.
Will the channel eventually close and funds get sent to my on chain wallet. If the channel will eventually close im ok with waiting whatever time that is.
I took a lot of screenshots and screen video. Is there any number or channel id something that can maybe help you pr your team help me recover this channel


Three lines on the top left (Hamburger menu) --> Embedded Node --> Disaster Recovery --> Initiate advanced Disaster recovery from Olympus, and then pick a back up from before deleting the app.

Did you do what I said to do in the note before?
