Sorry, brain hickup, I confused the two.

You didn't loose money besides the transaction fees of the onchain transaction of the channel close. Right?

"Inbound liquidity is the amount of bitcoin that the user is able to receive over a lightning channel. Outbound liquidity is the amount of bitcoin that the user is able to send over a lightning channel. Receiving bitcoin decreases the user’s inbound liquidity and increases their outbound liquidity."

I can only spend what is outbound and get paid from the inbound.

Outbound is the sats I allocate (mine) for others to use for a fee. And if a channel closes with outbound of mine i get it all back.

Inbound is the sats that someone allocated (theirs) for me to use for a fee. I said on the post "lost" because it made my lightning node lose capacity and ranking making it less attractive for others to use or join

That's crazy. Shouldn't the channels close with your inbound liquidity going back to you onchain? You lost 20m in onchain transaction costs, right?
