If you have multiple instances of the same lighting node running, things break. We do our best to prevent you from doing this but it's not perfect.

I had an instance where I stopped my node and clicked refresh channels and it force closed my channels. Now I know, but a warning would have prevented me from doing this.
Thanks for the reply. My phone app was continually showing the lightning channel as offline, so I decided to load the wallet on my laptop browser (after closing the app). The browser showed my channel was closed. I also think it would be useful (sorry for the unsolicited feedback) to show the txid - so I can monitor when my onchain funds are cleared. Cheers!
