when running a bitcoin lightning node what are the different ways i could lose my bitcoin? especially during high fees?

like what’s a forced closure of your channels, and is there any way to prevent them? and any other possible ways i could lose my sats?

i want to finally be able to use zeus, but i don’t want to fuck up managing channels and lose sats

I've been reading Phoenix Wallet's FAQ ( https://phoenix.acinq.co/faq ) and lightning. engineering docs ( https://docs.lightning.engineering ) and I don't thing there's a way to prevent channels from being force-closed from the other side of a channel.

But if someone closes the channel they have with you, you get your sats back immediately, while they have to wait for up to ~5 days.

Take everything I said with a grain of salt though, I'm no expert. Just spent some time on these docs.
