Paul, are you still trying to learn how to profitably run a Lightning node?
I for one applaud our Alien Overlords for reliving me of the burden of having worrying about it.

I never had any illusions about making a profit. I was more interested in helping route payments to keep the network decentralized.
About the time I hit a roadblock and gave up, someone set me straight that my hardware (and probably bandwidth) isn't really ideal for routing payments and can actually do more harm than good.
Lightning is frustrating. On one hand you have people warning you to take your sats out of custodial wallets, and on the other you have people warning about UTXO dust and million sat minimums for channel opens.
