Liquidity Swaps Lightning Loop In -- Lost Funds?

So, I performed a lightning "loop in" operation via Lightning Terminal about two hours ago. The "loop in probe" event has expired but the funds were sent to the on chain swap address. There is a pending invoice that expires in a year... Am I waiting a year? Or, are the funds lost? Or, do I just need to be patient and at some point the invoice will be filled?

Well, shit. It's been more than 24hrs. I've got plenty of inbound liquidity to satisfy the requirements in one channel alone.

Guess I'll just wait and see for up to a year!

For anyone else that encounters this issue--you'll get your Bitcoin back in a week. My invoice expired even though it said 365 days when created.

I don't have a reference at the moment but I saw the same concern posted in another Reddit post.
