Why the user saves in fees if he closes the channel?

I though is better for the user to do nothing

Cooperative channel closes are cheaper than force closes.

If they cooperatively close, only the LSP has to pay close costs.

If you stay offline and the LSP has to force close, LSP pays for the closing TX AND both parties have to pay to sweep from the timelock.

Ah, if you dont renew is always a forced close?

No, we try mutual closures first.
