How do you automatically rebalance channels on your lightning node?

What works for you? And what does not.

Interested to learn more what different approaches y'all have.

I found out, that i don't have to. I have just few large channels open to well connected nodes.

I don't optimize for forwarding or anything so I don't care about the traffic.

I set high fees on approx half of the channels. The other half is drained (I also use them to pay things) over time so have like half as inbound liquidity.

That's how I balance them.

If things are too bad (actually happened only once in the begining) i just loop in/out.

Thanks. I have exactly the same approach all those years. Any automatic rebalancing i was trying to deploy was not working as it should. And I tried lndg, lndboss, rebalancer ...
