lowering the fee back down when the liquidity lowers is also unintuitive. Wouldn't it be better to adjust htlc_max_msat for that channel and just leave the fee static?

I just tweaked my code thanks to this idea. For large channels, I set htlc_max_msat to the current balance (rounded down to 5M sats, minimum 5M sats). This might help attract semi-large payment requests, avoiding too-large requests.

awesome. Is this an update to rebalance-lnd or are you writing a new script? Seems that this setup would make rebalance-lnd think that we are making a rate that we might not get. If we set these higher rates and then try to rebalance channels, we could be massively overpaying.

This is unrelated to rebalance-lnd, it isn't even about rebalancing. But yes, if you rebalance (or, using lnd-manageJ, top-up) these channels, you might end up with lots of expensive liquidity that never moves.

I think he has a personal/public software to manage nodes, this seems not related with rebalance-lnd.

Yeah, I'll have to think about that!
