If you opened channels at low fees, they will wind up stuck in the mempool until it clears or be excessively expensive to force through at these rates. If you’re calle and have an ecash mint, it could mean your mints’s users are unable to peg their sats out of the mint unless you acquire extra bitcoin liquidity and open new channels, again paying excessively high fees during the current congestion.

Hmmm, this also makes justice transactions expensive though, doesn't it? That's not something I have been considering.
