Yes I did.

The email was just stating that my channel have been closed due to high fees. Where I was confused is that I was expecting to keep my channel when I purchased it for 16k sats a couple of weeks before.

All my other channels from different nodes were not closed.

Seems like your LSP are special. Now I’m debating whether I should use your LSP again or just use my existing bare metal node.

We can only recommend some LSPs, and reasons for channel closures might be many... that's the state of the Lightning Network today - but it's getting better!

Sorry about your experience!

I understand, I however didn’t have a say in the LSP. It’s just a button “increase incoming liquidity” that I pressed. The LSP selection is not shared with the user at purchase.

Maybe you guys can chose a LSP that doesn’t close channels for your default LSP

Under "Advanced" when increasing incoming liquidity, you could choose your LSP or a custom peer.

We will try to improve in this regard, thank you for feedback!
