Umbrel cannot close channel for more than 5 days
Hello,
I am using Umbrel for run a Ligthing Node, I tried to close channel with CoinPayments Node, to reopen it in the future with bigger capacity, but after 5 days no progress (still pending on ThunderHub, Waiting to Close in RTL and LNDg) there is also no info about closing transaction. What I can do with this channel? (I had setup sufficient fee median for blockchain, it was not force close)
Now on every part / app in Umbrel it showing that it is closing, But nothing is happening I think.
What I can do please?
Thanks!

Do you have a closing transaction id?

Only RTL showing me transaction, other like ThunderHub, LNDg, or classic Lighting Node app not.
This is transaction ID from RTL:
1d50c629caf92759bc1357522ee9fcd8bd995a3f40e6e0f3790d3b88febec5ea
But did not found any info about it in mempool, or other explorers.
Thank you.

It seems like you have to get the raw transaction from RTL (if you can) and then resubmit it through a service like this: https://mempool.space/tx/push

Thank you for your answer, I have only this info from RTL, see screenshot

Looks like your channel is open and alive: https://lightningnetwork.plus/channels/922576017710252032

So I do not understand that, on Umbrel all parts and apps showing me Pending and Waiting for close. And I cannot do anything, no possibility to close channel, no buttons.

If it's already pending closing you just need to wait until the transaction hits the blockchain. The fee is probably too low for the current environment. If you want to speed it up you need to accelerate it either with RBF, CPFP or with Mempool: https://mempool.space/acceleration.

It is many days from request to close, fee was setted to median, so it should be done many days. I think it is broken somehow. Because all apps showing hat it is pending but none of them showing any eal transaction.
Also like you sent, in pubic it showing normally open. So there is some problem, but I do not know how to resolve it. Because there are sats in the air, without any possibiiy to get them back.

Already found possibility to force close it by LNDg, i setup own fee 40sat/vB but somehow it applied maybe some from before only 10, but at least it is already on blockchain, what is interesting, it is with the same transaction ID like from RTL from before. But at least step forward
