Description
I've tried to Loop Out twice, but both times it's failed and has charged me 30,000 Sats (each time) for "Cost Server". I thought I shouldn't be charged if the Loop Out failed.
Expected behavior
If the Loop Out fails, I was expecting there to be no charge.
Actual behavior
I was charged 30,000 for each failed Loop Out. My node is also reflecting these charges (identified as "Prepay" in the screenshot attached)


To reproduce
I have reproduced the issue by conducting the Loop Out twice, both times is failed and both times I was charged 30,000 Sats.

Research direction
Use the reported Loop Out flow in the Lightning Terminal UI on Loop 0.11.2-beta as the starting point, comparing a failed attempt with the recorded 30,000-sat “Prepay”/“Cost Server” charge. Confirm whether failed Loop Outs should retain that charge and establish a reproducible result using the reported system details and screenshots.
