Thanks a lot. Unfortunately the transaction cannot be bumped. My lightning node force closed a channel due a national power outage here in Malta. The fee it used for the funds to return is 1sat/vbyte so there might be a problem. It is 5M in sats which are unconfirmed for 5 days now. I don't know what happens when it never will be confirmed because the channel is already closed and the other lightning node is for some reason disappeared. Very coincidence in my opinion. But I believe it can stay in the mempool for quite some time I have to see how this ends. Again thanks for your reply.

Be careful when posting this kind of info online, as anyone will be able to track down where the funds came from and link them to your SN pseudo and any other intel you'll let transpire.
I think you should be able to fee bump the transaction with RBF, using the command line.
Running
docker exec lightning_lnd_1 lncli wallet bumpfee ----sat_per_vbyte 10 03fb091c5462dc7945c77a1d6c1b5ace823a8b5c889bb1c2aabfc607d55ae0f6:0 should do the trick. Feel free to fine tune the sat per byte value depending on whether you're in a hurry or not. 5 sats/vB might be enough to get in in a few blocks.I don't know how technical you are exactly, so feel free to reach out if you need help.

Thanks. Have tried to reach you on nostr with luck. The bump command did not do anything. Not an error but nothing changed. I used 35 sat/vbyte btw
