After roughly a month of largely easy operation a lightning node (LND 0.16.2-beta) mechanically initiated a power closure of a channel. Two days later an expired HTLC was settled on-chain. In each cases, excessive charges (~2-3 occasions the going fee) had been mechanically paid from the on-chain pockets of the node. Every thing occurred with none person intervention in any way. Listed below are the 2 transactions:

The 2 transactions appear to be associated within the sense that the expired HTLC was attributable to the power closure.
So, I am looking for out what triggered the power closure. So far as I do know the lightning community protocol is designed to have the dangerous actors bear the price of their conduct and make everybody else complete, so I think that the node was misbehaving one way or the other?
- Might or not it’s a connection subject (the node is barely reachable through TOR)?
- How can the excessive charges for power closure/expired HTLC be averted sooner or later, is that this configurable anyplace?
In the event you want extra data (logs, and so forth.), I would be glad to ask the operator to supply them.
