{channel_count} channels, {stale} stale

Error message

{channel_count} channels, {stale} stale

What it means

Doctor channel-health summary: at least one channel component is tracked but one or more failed the freshness test — either their last ok-status heartbeat is older than CHANNEL_STALE_SECONDS or reported ok=false. The counts say how many channels are tracked and how many are stale; each stale channel also emitted its own per-channel error line with its ok flag and age.

Solutions

1. Inspect the per-channel error items to see which channel is stale and how old its heartbeat is
2. Check that provider's credentials/network (bot token revoked, daemon down, network blocked)
3. Restart the core so channel workers reconnect and republish fresh heartbeats
