Timelock Expiration of over 800,000 blocks

Can someone here help me understand what is happening with this channel. I have a channel that I opened to a peer as part of a liquidity triangle. (S)he is closing it now, forced close, for unknown reasons. That channel is now in the “Pending Channels” tab on Thunderhub.

The thing that I don’t understand is that the “Timelock Expiration” is over 800,000 blocks. So, over 15 years, if my math is correct. 213 blocks have passed, per the “Timelock Blocks” column.

So, perhaps stupid question… Are my local/outbound sats tied up for 15+ years?

It went well. Also, I think I misunderstood the time lock issue. I think that the listed block is when the channel will close and resolve to each of our accounts. Thanks!
