Recovery process

To check the status of a closing channel you better run the CLI as it was explained in the troubleshooting manual here - see the section about how to check the closed channels status.

You can start force closing on them if you see that are in limbo. Could be sometimes, when the peer is not responding. It will be more costly but you could release the funds.

Remember: in a channel dispute will be returned ONLY the funds that were on your side at the moment of closure. Sometimes all the balance of the channel could be on the peer side, so you get NOTHING.

Important is that you see all channels closed in your node listing.
