you have more sats in a custodial LN wallet than inbound liquidity on your own node.
what do you do?
Discussion
Loop out, or use a swap service to go on chain
I’m not familiar with either of those… could you elaborate or point me to some reference?
What does it mean to "loop out"?
Lightning Loop is a service you can run on your node. You pay a fee and they send you on chain.

And one swap service would be Boltz
You can always purchase more inbound liquidity.

Depends on where you want to go? Do you want the funds on your node, or you want them in cold storage?

Swap service
Setup a Breez or Phoenix wallet on your phone and move the custodial sats to self-custodial Lightning. Or use boltz.exchange to swap them out from LN to on chain.
With the new Phoenix wallet with splices you can receive on ln, paying an onchain fee. If you use Android, install Phoenix and ask them to join beta with splices.
