I've tried every way to get out my funds. Lightning payments fail. Closing channels fail. Sending btc fails.
The balance shows 118 512 sats. When I try to send via lightning it says "insufficient balance" . I see a message shwoing that I can only send 18 102 via lightning and when I try to send less than that the payments fail 100% of the time.
When I try to send btc it says the network fee is too high. And it says that 18 165 sats are available. Minimum to send on chain is 50k.
There's one lightning transaction of 42k sats that's pending for little over 4 months now.
I don't know where the 18 201 sats number comes from, nor the 18 165. And why the balance is showing neither of these but instead 118 512.
Does any of this make any sense to anyone? If so your input would be appreciated.
I think your Breez is not synced well with neutrino peers. no sync = no payments
You could try changing the neutrino peers in advanced options, here are some: btcd1.lnolymp.us | btcd2.lnolymp.us - for US region btcd-mainnet.lightning.computer - for US region uswest.blixtwallet.com (Seattle) - for US region europe.blixtwallet.com (Germany) - for EU region asia.blixtwallet.com - for Asia region node.eldamar.icu - for US region noad.sathoarder.com - for US region
Or find one closer to your location from here: https://bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=NODE_COMPACT_FILTERS
Default Breez neutrino peers are bb1.breez.technology | bb2.breez.technology - and are located in US region

I had the same problem. I left the btc in breeze, since it was attached to my google id, and forgot about it until a halving event later. I recommend the same. The other solution is to keep loading sats in breeze through the lightning network until you can pay the fees but tbh i's fine. it's not going anywhere. dont panic, just stay humble and stack sats.
