Max HTLC’s essentially indicates to the network the maximum amount of payment you can/are willing to forward.

Let’s say you have a 1 million sat channel but only 321,210 sats on your side. By default the max HTLC’s is set to the channel capacity so here 1,000,000. However because you only have 321,210 sats locally, a forward payment of 1,000,000 would result in a failed payment which decreases the ‘reputation’ of your node to forward payment.

Therefore you need to set up your Max HTLC’s to 321,000. That way the network knows that it can only forward 321,000 sats payment or less through your channel ⚡️

Thanks mate. I will try this.

Do you know if there is a tool that can do this automatically. Seems there is a tool for everything else??

Absolutely, there’s definitely a script to manage Max HTLC’s. I do it manually as my breakfast routine but I think nostr:npub1q8gth72n0mcl6rwls905rsvfvuu0dgaq7cq028rc9d7c3ygnp4xq84awvk has an automated one.

This sounds like a good thing to learn about. I’d be down to making it a part of my morning routine as well. Could you give me a little insight to what you do? Do you adjust it based on sats on your side of each channel daily? Where do you do this? Thanks

Looks like I can do it in nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 I would assume I’d want to adjust it daily based on my side sats. So if I have outgoing capacity of say 750k sats, maybe I set it at 500k? Is that hour you’d handle it or would you set it at your total available each day? Thanks

Yep I usually do it in Zeus and I set it to super close to the total available on my side each day. If I have 750,225 sats, I’d do 750,000. If I have 1,234,670 I do 1,234,000 etc.

I’ve been working on a bash script for this. Not quite in a shareable state yet, but getting close! #womm

I’ve got it in an early, shareable state on github. RTFM, don’t be reckless, and all that jazz. 💜⚡️
