I have had several issues that were resolved by contacting the partner node. Before adding a clearnet IP, I was getting a lot of random offline states from certain channels that had long ping timeouts over tor and 3 of them even fully disappeared from the graph as if we never had a connection (aside from my own node knowing that it existed). I still have one channel that’s dead because they have me on tor only and haven’t jiggled the handle yet—and because the edge is missing from the graph, I can’t force close to get my funds back until they come back online and fix the connection.
