Super super helpful! The visuals are appreciated too.
So it’s never a static number then - it always is in some sort of flux depending on my balance, the partner balance and how much has been sent/received.
Basically, always check liquititty before moving from one wallet to Pheonix to ensure proper equilibrium.
Yes correct it fluctuates. With Phoenix your channels are private channels, so you sending and receiving is the only thing that makes those balances fluctuate. If we were talking about a routing node with public channels, then it gets a little more complex, but you don’t need to worry about that for this circumstance. If I remember right Phoenix has a nice little screen in the settings that displays all your channels and inbound vs. outbound. I use Breez, which works the same way, and occasionally I send some of my balance to another wallet (or even to an on chain address if fees are low enough) to give myself more inbound liquidity. Sometimes the new channels are unavoidable tho.
