I’ve seen a few people having this issue but things seem to have changed since the resolutions were posted. For example, someone said abandon channel worked but the script they provided doesn’t work (presumably directory locations have moved around since then):

Happening to me today. How did you resolve it?

[satsophone]

ok that first link works.
The commands paths are now

cd ~/umbrel
./scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli pendingchannels

etc

[ChopperBTC]

Mine is still unresolved! Have you fixed yours now? Did you abandon channel?

[satsophone]

Yes. Abandoned with

./scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli abandonchannel --funding_txid $TX_ID --output_index 1 --i_know_what_i_am_doing

I think I have this same problem. Can you explain more about what app you used to access CLI and how to put in that command? Sorry, not very tech savvy, but I’m willing to learn about this. Thanks!
