No. But I might pay the $12 for one month to recover the 26,000 sats

I did not have to pay them anything to self-host my own instance of Alby Hub. You might want to look into that first.
Did you connect this way?
Or do you run a node?

No, not using nostrconnect. After downloading the Alby Hub client, I just migrated the old wallet and kept on using Zeus with the old credentials.
Actually, use this like

Interesting. Thank you for your help.
So you are hosting the hub from your computer, although I wonder if I can install it, log into my old Alby account & Remove the 26,000 sats?
Then just un install it?

I say give it a try.

with alby hub you get a self-sovereign channel. that only makes sense if you want to use it more often.
otherwise link one of the other nwc wallets - but do your own research
