I think I read somewhere that incoming liquidity take about an hour to become available on AlbyHub.

Thank you for your replies. Things are slowly becoming clearer. I don't know if there was some kind of connectivity issue, but I wasn't able to withdraw to my Alby wallet before, and now trying again, it just worked. Not sure what changed.

 can point you to a good educational article. Otherwise, it’s probably best to reach out to
