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?
reply
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
reply
Maybe that low limit is new, because I'm pretty sure I've messaged with a wallet balance more than 250k?
reply
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.
reply
If it was the sender's balance, it wouldn't be a vulnerability. The ability to find out yourself you have > 250k sats is a well-known feature :)

For sure. The way siggy phrased one of his comments made me want to be painfully explicit lol
reply
Earlier today was the first time I saw that error message. It just seems really low.
reply
Correct. It is the receiver
reply
The limit has changed fairly recently I think.
