Why do they need to be told? Don't they already have the goal of running a healthy node, without me nagging them?
Maybe there is some cost/benefit between close the channel automatically, or wait 24hs and "maybe" (hypothetical) they said, "I have some hardware/provider fail, in 2hs it's going to be online again" or "I need to remove liquidity because X but the crisis already pass and I push it again in Y time".
How much a cost to close vs wait a personal msg. Maybe we can add this kind bussines logic into, but I didn't put some thinking on it, maybe some keysend and wait a response, automatically...

Ah. I'm talking about online and "active" channels. I already reach out to peers that are offline. As my rating spans a time period of at least 45 days, that already covers quite a lot of temporary issues.

In that case, we are trying to predict the market, for my understanding, you can only put your node in a better position that the rest, but you don't know in advance what channel is better that other in the future with a good degree of certainty.
