The channel needs a little amoun locked on each side to act as a reserve, a good faith bond of sorts.

When an LSP opens a channel to your node, they can decide to push that amount to your side or not. If they don't, the first liquidity to come in will be used to fill up that reserve, and you won't be able to move it.

To fix the issue, send yourself some sats from another wallet. Once that reserve gets filled up, your channel will be fully operational.

Can’t send. I tried but nothing goes through

That's strange... have your tried zapping yourself a bit over the reserve amount, or just generating an invoice?

I don’t even know what the reserve amount is. There’s no tooltip or anything to indicate what’s wrong or what to do about it.

Yeah mine had 0/354 until I loaded it up and then it worked but if you can't send to it then you might be having a different issue.

I’ll try again I guess… 10k reserve is what I’m seeing now 😬
