I have an issue with opening a channel.

I set fee to 7s/b but silly thunderhub changed it to 4s/b just before I clicked open.

Unfortunately current purge fee is 4.3s/b so I suspect the transaction from lightning node to my bitcoin node was rejected.

So lightning node has it as pending opening but my mempool nor global mempool knows about the transaction.

I've had a similar issue before and was able to resolve it by restarting lightning when purge fee was low enough for my bitcoin node to accept the transaction.

This time I'm worried purge fee will not be below 4.

Is there a way to reverse the opening channel action and get fees back on chain?

have you tried bumping the fees? Zeus wallet offers this, I was once able to bump the fees of a force close like this.

open your activities tab, look for the transaction and click on it. if you can find that transaction you could find the bump fees option here

You can't bump the fee since the transaction doesn't exist in mempool?
