You shouldn’t use custodial wallet
Discussion
I take full responsibility but will be making that point with a real example.

I recently learned that you can’t move sats from Umbrel Lightning Node back to Umbrel OnChain Wallet. So I moved from Umbrel Lightning to Strike, then back to Onchain. Keep us posted on your progress. Praying it all gets to the intended place 🤙🏻
What do you mean by that Chris? Can you be more specific? You can always move off-chain - on-chain. E.g closing channels, looping out etc.
I recently accumulated sats on my Umbrel Lightning Node (noncustodial wallet) and when I tried to move the sats to my Umbrel Onchain Wallet in preparation of opening a lightning channel, I couldn’t do it. I tried using Zeus and it sent preexisting onchain funds to myself. Then tried with directly on my Umbrel and got and error saying the onchain address wasn’t a good address. Maybe I did something wrong, but the only way I could move Onchain was
to move through another lighting wallet. I used Strike to accomplish this. I had posted a Note about it this hoping someone would point out my error, but no one did. Have you done this? I thought it should be possible.
You need to loop out of Lightning via Loop or Boltz or you can just close a channel with funds on your side. Either of these actions will put sats back on-chain. I do this often. I use Thunderhub to do it. I use Boltz via Thunderhub. I also have used peerswap, but this is more advanced and more technical. Let me know if you need help doing a swap.
Thanks Derek but as far as my tech skills go, these funds were just sitting on my Bitcoin wallet on my Umbrel, i just sent them to my WOS and went through, they are still pending while multiple confirmations occurred from WOS side.

Jeebus.
Totally agree with nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 on this
You can loop-out from the channel or you can rebalance.
I use bolts for loop out and ride the lightning for rebalance. Thunderhub is a good option when it comes to managing lightning node and opening/closing channels.
