I was helping a newbie spin up a new LND node (umbrel).
They notice that the LND node balance fluctuates (+/- a thousand sats) from day to day, even when no forwards, no channel closed/open, or transactions have happen.
They found this concerning as they thought they where losing sats.
I have seen the same thing on my node (same result in thunderhub, RTL, etc..) and I was able to give them some comfort that a similar thing happens to me and they don't need to panic.
Question: Where should one look to see what is accounting for the fluctuation?
Anyone have a recommendation for an umbrel App that does a good job in communicating this?
If the channels are small, yes is noticeable when the onchain fees are fluctuating also. Are the "commit_fees" that affect this behavior. Read more here:
Look in Thunderhub app, in total liquidity report and you will see where is going
