Channels are the basics of how the lightning network works. To stay in full control you or the channel partner can close channels. What channel did you have?
Did you get a channel from a LSP (lightning service provider - like lnserver, megalith, etc.)?
Alby does not provide those channels and has no control over those. The Alby Hub node tries hard to avoid channel closures but it's up to you or the channel partner.
We don't know why it was closed. Often it happens if the channel is not used or if the node is offline for an extended period.
