For anyone who’s asked about the need for rebalancing LN channels, this is a great read ⚡️

To all LN node runners!
Are you still rebalancing?
Why not adjust fee settings AND
maxHTLC's settings!
Most LN runners DONT adjust the maxHTLC setting, so a channel with 1Msats capacity and only
100ksats on your side is treated by the gossip
as if it can route 1Msats (default maxHTLC is channel capacity!)
Plz read here:

(near the bottom of the guide its about maxHTLC)
If someone cons for the maxHTLC setting plz let me know!
