Hello,
I have a lightning channel that has been stuck in closing for a few weeks.
I have a txid from RTL, but this txid doesn’t exsist in mempool or on chain.
I tried looking for it on my node and on the mempool space website and found nothing.
How can I diagnose this and re-broadcast the correct transaction, RTL says that the local balance is all in limbo.
Thanks

Same happened to me. I had to force close it by commands, then wait for an amount of blocks to get the funds.
This helped me:
I initiated a channel close on Umbrel 2 weeks ago but it remains stuck on “closing”." If I select “view info” on the channel in RTL (Ride The Lightning), I can see it under “Waiting Close.” I have tried restarting my node several times.
If anyone can provide the command to force close the channel via command prompt that would help. I have managed to connect via C:\WINDOWS\system32>ssh umbrel@umbrel.local

Thanks.
This got my txid into mempool.
does this mean my node will now deal with the limbo balance correctly?
I can’t see the maturity height for the transaction and im not getting a maturity height when I ask for pendingchannels, and it says this:
“initiator”: “INITIATOR_REMOTE”,
Thanks

Yes, it will deal with it. You can see it in RTL; Peers/channels, Pending, View info

After getting a confirmation, RTL now says how many blocks to maturity. Everything looks good now.
