Try enabling Express Graph Sync in Embedded Node settings to boost your chance of payment success.
Routing is done client side so you need to get the LN graph either through P2P or Express Graph Sync
I had noticed after the splicing update fees were getting higher on Phoenix wallet, so I finally got around to testing a couple new options.

First up is Mutiny wallet, I'm really liking it! The Android APK is working well now if you happen to be on that OS.
I tested sending lightning payments up to 1M, using Alby, WoS, and Zeus with Olympus LSP as receiving wallets. They all worked. Fees were reasonable, ranging from 11-25 sats for the 1M sat transfers.

I also set up the Zeus integrated lightning node, Olympus. I like the Zeus interface, I use it as a front end for Alby on my phone.
Zeus had trouble sending larger payments. I wasn't able to send over 250K in my tests today, once again testing with WoS, Alby, and Mutiny as receiving wallets. Fees were a bit higher as well, 84 sats consistently for a 250K transfer.

I have decently large channels open in both now, so I will be able to continue testing more in the future. I can't wait to see what they build going forward!

Afterwards I realized I had a fee limit of 100 sats in the settings, that is why it wouldn't go over 250K sats for sending. I'll play with it, things are so new!
