Channels stuck closing after having my node down for some weeks

[mtelizalde]

Hello,
After recovering my node, which was offline for more than one month, I was unable to receive back my sats that were stuck on my lnd channels. Could you please help me recovering my channels sats? I dont understand why the total limbo balance is 0 neither why the local and the remote balance of each channel is 0.
This is the balance before recovering my node:

This is my current node balance:

This is the status of my channels:

Hey @mtelizalde

After recovering my node, which was offline for more than one month

Can you be more specific on what "recovering" means here? Did you use a static channel backup file?

[mtelizalde]

Hello! I meant that I needed to restore my node (I forgot my password). It took me more than one month to start the recovering process. After syncing back 100% of the blockchain, I introduced my 24 words seed phrase and uploaded my static channels backup file that was downloaded on September 6th, since I didnt have a recent one. At your disposition, Marcos

Hello, Yesterday Nov 24th I received 1,072,059 Sats, but still i havent received yet all the funds I had on my LND channels.

[GeorgeTsagk]

It could be possible that your node is broadcasting force-closes with a low fee-rate, and the reason it's taking a while to get your funds back is related to the current high fee environment

[mtelizalde]

OK, Thanks for the tip! How many time it could take? I have pacience, I want just to follow up, keep you posted and ask for support in case I still don't get back my channels funds. Is there a way I can check the fee rate that my node used for force-closings my channels?
