I have a lightning channel that was forced closed 2 months ago, but is still listed as "pending"
There is a closing transaction that has been confirmed, yet it's still pending.
Any help in recovering these funds is appreciated.
closing transaction: 1327f9bc59e008d25da8e8e95e26b648767f83dc96da3781d3fea25914188b0d
Ahh that dreaded force close. It could just be a time thing the funds could unlock in 144 blocks.
its been over 2 months, well beyond 144/blocks
đ¤ did you check the fee to close the channel? Sometimes the fee is so low the miners wonât pick it up
I once had a channel that didnât close for 3 months it was a tiny channel that couldnât get into the mempool
Suuuucks. But if its confirmed closed then try rescanning the lightning wallet on the default/on-chain derivation path
This is why I gave up on LND
Try rebooting your node first
I remember encountering this a while ago, you may need to force your node to âre-scanâ the chain to get its wallet synced
This too

Shows channel is confirmed and closed, funds delivered to these addresses shown heređ

In thunder hub or RTL), and see what it says
If still nothing, update your distro (specifically lightning version) and see what it shows
I'd check those addresses where the funds were delivered too and verify you have them
If still having iasuses hmuđ
Appreciate it, I'll dig in
If you have terminal access (ssh) there are command line tools to help know your state.
For LND you could use 'lncli pendingchannels' to see if anything is hung.
Itm.
I'd say that the channel is closed and you should be able to spend the UTxO.
For some reason your lightning node might not be reflecting that.
Try updating your lightning software which will probably also restart the service.
This helped me out while I had a limbo balance (with an unconfirmed pending closing channel) https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/recovery.md#forced-in-place-rescan
