Pending update

[WilsonJr01]

I have a problem with lightning-terminal. I updated my pool account, but the txid never made it to the mempool and now the account is stuck in pending update.

Hi @WilsonJr01! Thanks for reporting, I will pass this issue on to the pool team 👍

I think I know what is going on here. Can you share your account_id?

It’s possible that your client got out of sync when you updated your account (deposit/withdraw funds) while it was participating in a batch. Did you sold/bought any channel lately?

If this is what happened you will have to go through the account recovery process. Your account will be in synced again and you will be able to use your funds as usual but the old, non matched, orders will be canceled and the information about out leases too.

where can I see my account_id? my trader key is 02be88105cf997b06b0cb6a5569b835bc0d8cd0c689be15648c7d6b0bfd955bb30

I already try to do the recovery process, but it didn't worked

I sold a channel abou a week ago

In this case the client did not get out of sync with the server by interacting with his account while participating in a batch.

The user deposited new funds in his account calling the DepositAccount rpc method. A new AccountDiff was created with a tx that had three inputs and two outputs

• in: current account outpoint
• in: utxo from lnd wallet
• in: utxo from lnd wallet
• out: new account output
• out: change

The account diff has not been applied to the account because is waiting for confirmations. However, that tx was never broadcasted to the network. The lnd node does not see it in pending txs and the two inputs that the lnd node manages are not seen as "spent".

In the lnd logs we can see that a subscription was created for this tx but was canceled few minutes later NTFN: Canceling confirmation notification:

Umbrel does not store the container logs for more than one day, so we do not have them for pool.

The account is currently unusable because of it's Pending Updating state.

In the spendAccount we do not rollback the account update if the broadcast fails which would release the funds in LND which may be what happened here.

Is there a fix for this bug?

There is no fix yet, but we are working on one. If you are affected, you can tell us your account key (=trader key) and we can reset it on the server side. Then you can use the account recovery to sync your local account state: https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal/troubleshooting#pool-account-recovery

I have removed the pending state on the server side, you can now proceed with the account recovery.

Thank you sir, I was able to exec the account recovery; and the account went back to "OPEN" Status, However, I'm missing the fund that were stuck in the "PENDING UPDATE" state. Would you know how to recover those fund? thank you.

[guggero]

Those funds should be back in your lnd wallet. If not, try a restart of lnd.

[cinartec]

restarting my lnd did not work. I am not sure where the fund went now?

[guggero]

Are you sure you didn't use the funds for something else in the meantime? When I reset the state I saw that the wallet input was spent in another transaction in the meantime. Maybe you opened a channel or sent funds and that's where they are now?

thanks Guggero, I do sincerely recalled that my balance was 11,000,000 SAT while the ACCOUNT STATUS stuck in PENDING UPDATE stage.
After I ran and executed account recover on container "lightninglabs/lightning-terminal:v0.8.6-alpha." my account is down to 5,000,000 SAT. So I am not sure where is the 6,000,000 went?
I might have ran the recovery command on the wrong container?

I also captured the transaction ID while it was stuck in PENDING UPDATE stage:

Transaction
273c1a95e5253e2cbfa2c1ee6de33b700350a4f6e857d07f5ca6
08d295191a94
Transaction not found.
Waiting for it to appear in the mempool...

[guggero]

Yes, the pending transaction attempted to add 6M sats to the account. But because that deposit transaction never confirmed because the funds were spent by the lnd wallet in the meantime, the funds should be accounted for somewhere in lnd (either in a channel you opened or another transaction your node made). So you just need to add the funds to the Pool account again.
