Agreement ID: 15481 - node offline for days

Hi , I am new to lighning chanels .

I am in a swap as per Agreement ID: 15481. I am connected to Viking but his node has been down for days ( when i view on thunderhub)

Is this normal and what am I supposed to do about this, i have contacted him thru direct message and the messages in swap several times but he has not answered.

A few days can be unavoidable when moving or having a hardware or connectivity failure. Wait 7-10 days and after that force close the channel.

does that mean i incur the costs of closing??

also does that screw up the swap im in, can you explain how it works, what happens if i do cancel the chanel ,

Yes, you do incur the force closing costs. The remaining channels continue to be operating so the swap is not entirely lost, just partially.
