Hello Guys!

So, recently I did a force closed with channel “A”, and as usual, you have to wait few days to get your BTC back, however in the middle of that wait my node completely died, then I got the seed and the backup to restore (with took few days), as soon it was completed, all channels were force closed automatically, and the local balances came back to my on-chain wallet in 2-3 days. The problem is, the channel “A” that I force closed right before my node died, I’m still waiting the BTC, it seems like it’s stuck or something like that. Can you guys help me please? I don’t know what to do.

Thank you so much!

Have a look at the transaction, it’s possible that the transaction is currently buried in the mempool.  
In the transaction you can also see at which block hight your funds are released

I’m not so good with this, are you talking about Locktime?

sorry to say, but if this is your transaction then you have a problem.

> The Bitcoin transaction lock time is **the time at which a particular transaction can be added to the blockchain**. This is the earliest time that miners can include the transaction in their hashing of the Merkle root to attach it in the latest block to the blockchain.
