I found one of my channels was in "AWAITING_UNILATERAL" so now I see it was for weeks in that state.
plus another channel AWAITING_UNILATERAL for like a year, lol

so found a solution by closing this bugged out channels,
bitcoin-lightning-cli.sh close "Full Channel ID:" true

bitcoin-lightning-cli.sh close °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° true
or with this command:
bitcoin-lightning-cli.sh close -k force=true id=°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Not sure why but I think this started around April 11th,

also this seems to mess with spark wallet. container restarting!! sometimes

found this with other channels not closing after a long time.

bitcoin-lightning-cli.sh close "Full Channel ID:" true
seemed to solved my problems.
