If I understand correctly... Then it would be like this: if I want to maintain the size of my channel, I simply proceed to this part and select the maximum, which, unless I am mistaken, will rent me the channel for approximately 51k blocks. Correct?
And if I decide to withdraw all my liquidity and let the channel expire... (I assume that the funds that cannot be withdrawn are to pay the channel closing fees) and then I can simply open another one with a larger amount?
And in the same way, aiming for the maximum possible of approximately 51,000 blocks.
I see you already have a channel of 897k sats CAPACITY. That is a good channel for a private node. I thought it was smaller. But is OK.
The 51k blocks is the TIME you want to keep that channel open. I would choose max 12 months.
If you really need more inbound liquidity, just buy another channel and keep also this one.
I suggest to have it with another good LSP, just for more reliability.
But if this capacity of almost 900k sats is enough for you to receive and spend or swap out, you don't need anything else.
In LN you have to think a bit in advance, about your future use of that liquidity. If you expect that is enough, just use what you have. If you expect a larger volume in the future, is good to have ready in advance these inbound channels, buy them when the fees are low.
