When completing a 2M sat trade on robosats, I couldn't do it with own lnd node, route kept failing even though I had a 10% max fee, more than enough liquidity a 3 good channels to very well connected nodes.

I had to send the 2M sats from my lnd to my phoenix wallet, but couldn't do it in 1 go, had to split it in 4x 500k sat invoices, otherwise the payment would fail, even though I had bought 4M incoming liquidity in phoenix.

Then from phoenix, I could finally pay the 2M robosats invoice and complete the trade.

Maybe I'm just a terrible node runner who doesn't know what he's doing.

nah. You're just pushing the limits on generally available liquidity along routes. Much higher success rates at under 1M.

Understable. But still terrible UX. 2M sats is not even that much.

Peak UX

Peak stupidity. A professional certified LN node runner would know exaxtly what to do!

Where does one get certified?

Do you have many channels?
