Yesterday I decided to finally close all my channels and finish my lightning node.

Honestly I wanted to have it more, but with the vulnerability on LND along with the fact that it gave me a lot of headaches for the spare usage I gave to it, in the end it didn't compensate the effort.

The thing I hated the most was the fact of not having enough balance to move besides all my peers' channels being online for some reason, I most of the time just used it to get some lightning sats and then move them with low fees to on-chain, so this meant I moved a big amount and near to my total balance.

Despite doing tests I wasn't able to move even the 90% of my balance on lightning for "insufficient balance", so decided to finish this headache once and for all.

Decided to go back to the service that received me with open arms and gave me the illusion of using Bitcoin day-to-day for cheap, Phoenix wallet. I know as everything there's tradeoffs but in the end for the usage I give it this decision for me is justified.

Seems that a hotwallet (or many) with these providers is the way to go for day to day use, still have some issues if you don't set the fees high enough. Good luck and thank to be part of the network.
