LIGHTNING-DOWNGRADE(8)					LIGHTNING-DOWNGRADE(8)

NAME
       lightning-downgrade  --	Tool to	revert core lightning to an older ver-
       sion

SYNOPSIS
       lightning-downgrade [ARGUMENTS]...

DESCRIPTION
       lightning-downgrade reverts an  upgrade	by  modifying  the  lightningd
       database	back the prior version.	 lightningd must not be	running	at the
       time.

       A  downgrade  may  not  be possible if a	new feature has	been used that
       would be	incompatible with an older version.  In	this  case  the	 down-
       grade will fail with a message and nothing will be changed.

       Use  the	 latest	 lightning-downgrade  to  downgrade.  For example, the
       v25.12 lightning-downgrade won't	know how to downgrade v26.06.

       All minor versions are compatible, so a downgrade to v25.09  will  work
       fine with v25.09.1 or v25.09.2, etc.

VERSIONS
         v25.12: downgrades to	v25.09.

	  Downgrade  is	not possible if	withhold true has been used with fund-
	  channel_complete, or if askrene-bias-node has	been used.

         v25.09: downgrade is not supported.

OPTIONS
         --lightning-dir=DIR

	  Set the directory for	the lightning daemon  we're  talking  to;  de-
	  faults to $HOME/.lightning.

         --conf=PATH

         --testnet4

         --signet

         --regtest

         --rpc-file=FILE

	  Named	pipe to	use to talk to lightning daemon: default is lightning-
	  rpc in the lightning directory.

	  Identify  the	 location of the wallet.  See lightningd-config(5) for
	  details.

         --help/-h

	  Pretty-print summary of options to standard output  and  exit.   The
	  format can be	changed	using -F, -R, -J, -H etc.
