Thank you for the offer, but I have to gently decline a meets-session.  
Don’t give up, your situation is not straight forward and wouldn’t be solved by the guide apparently. Bit of an edge case. If you have Telegram, [you can hook me up there](https://amboss.space/c/hodlmetight), chat is fine with me.

But before, let’s get some context: Do you have any open channels remaining, or is that the only channel and you’re missing the onchain sats? If so, [here is one who had the same issue](https://community.umbrel.com/t/solved-2-channels-wont-close-after-recovery/11264/7).

And what happened before, did you initiate an umbrel rescue / restore? I’m not super familiar with umbrel restore, but I would assume that you initiate an SCB / umbrel restore, the channel got closed / lost the status, you already have the sats onchain, but your umbrel wallet doesn’t know about it. A rescan might help, but let’s take it step by step.
