I run a core-lightning node with six energetic personal channels with two nodes (ACINQ, allNice | torq.co) and over final couple of months many of the funds that I try fail with the output equivalent to this:

The funds by no means fail when I’m buying and selling on robosats, they virtually at all times fail with kucoin and bitrefill.
I’ve six energetic personal channels and one inactive personal channel (its state is "AWAITING_UNILATERAL"),
listpeers returns:

whereas listpeerchannels returns this.

I exploit LN over TOR, my config is:

always-use-proxy=true

Am I being censored?
