How do you automatically rebalance channels on your lightning node?
What works for you? And what does not.
Interested to learn more what different approaches y'all have.

I found out, that i don't have to. I have just few large channels open to well connected nodes.
I don't optimize for forwarding or anything so I don't care about the traffic.
I set high fees on approx half of the channels. The other half is drained (I also use them to pay things) over time so have like half as inbound liquidity.
That's how I balance them.
If things are too bad (actually happened only once in the begining) i just loop in/out.
Thanks. I have exactly the same approach all those years. Any automatic rebalancing i was trying to deploy was not working as it should. And I tried lndg, lndboss, rebalancer ...
I stopped stressing over that after few months. I don't make money by routing. So just few channels that have some balance is OK for my needs. I have some inbound, some outbound, that's all I need.
OK. Makes sense for you. In was playing with different solutions to rebalance channels lately buy after vigorous testing I end up back where I was - only incentivizing others with low/high ppms
I was not really happy with non of the solutions I tried for automatic rebalancing. Or maybe I do something wrong because results are not perfect.
