Anyone know the maximum amount of time a Lightning Node can be offline? My understanding is 144 blocks

How long is that? Mine has been off for a few days before

Probably a day or so? Depending on the hash rate

Ive def been offline for longer than that. Maybe even a week. Are you just worried about channels closing? It probably depends on the channel settings? I'm no expert tho

Naw was just curious tbh, i just don’t wanna log back in and all the sats are gone

Haha you should be fine

That’s what I thought but then my mind starts wondering 😅

But then again idk, I’m guessing it’ll be fine

10min av blocktime 1440 is ONE FULLDAY - but blocktime be longer sometime add few hr extra

i have noticed outages in channels of wallets providers +10hrs - i also noticed btc-core will NOT ACCEPT inbound connections if line in flapping - ans maybe 800 blocks tolerance ok not sure above that
