I'm glad you brought that up. I get messages and honestly I often have more than 250k in my wallet, or am I mistaken. Also, would sending to a lightning address be considered creating an invoice? Thanks for the reply. That error message confused me.

Wow, had no idea. I'm currently at 251k and didn't realize I have stopped receiving zaps. Something should be stated to help educate this. A warning icon or something would be great.

Zaps on sn aren’t stopped. Just invoices adding external sats

that's a big deal for people using SN as an LNURL address on nostr.

I think a banner saying something like this:

Your wallet is over the limit, you will not be able to deposit any more sats (or receive zaps from outside of SN). Please withdraw your sats.

when their wallet is over the limit might make sense that a user can click away when they've seen it?

Sending to a lightning address does generate an invoice under the hood.

Thanks for the info. So stackers here need to keep balances below 250k to message others?

It appears so.

To receive messages, I think? Though I didn’t think the limit was that low. It’s been a minute since I’ve been in the code though

Maybe that low limit is new, because I'm pretty sure I've messaged with a wallet balance more than 250k?

I think it’s the recipients balance that matters, not the senders balance. But in any case, if you’ve had a message exchange back and forth while maintaining a balance over 250K, that would suggest the limit was higher.
