I'm kinda increasingly bearish on Lightning. The experience seems way worse than, say, a year ago. I'm rarely able to make payments anymore for anything higher than a few hundred sats, whether I'm using Mutiny or a custodial wallet like Alby (let alone my own node, gave up on actually using that for payments ages ago). Like I'm trying to buy an Amazon card for ~100k sats right now and all I get is payment pending.

Use Phoenix wallet and dont run a node. Phone wallet is the best lightning wallet there is.

Mutiny has a lot of issues alby is wak. Zues is expensive.

Phoenix is the BEST lightning wallet

If you on Android use minibits to receive zaps

I use lightning on a weekly basis to purchase gift cards for groceries, ~200000 sats, plus I stack using lightning in larger magnitudes. I rarely see any kind of payment failure. I wonder what leads to different outcomes?

Which wallet/s do you use?

Alby & Mutiny
