No tor channels. I'm using the alby extension (WebLN and Lightning Address)
I see. In general we can't control payment settlement timing on routes to your node. If you're not in control of your node - you can't control it either. It may be disconcerting, but that's the nature of p2p things - you are at the whims of your peers.
The best UX to be had here is going to be through a direct channel with SN because these timing issues will be less common. When I do node maintenance this weekend I'll try to setup a big channel with Alby's node and any other centralized custodial provider people are using.

Okay! I hope everything will be fine after the maintenance. I really want to use
p2p, but it has to be working properly, otherwise it discourages me from using it.reply
To be clear, it is working properly from our perspective. We just can't control the response time of your external wallet.
I get it though. We'll do what we can to make it better, but there are limits because your wallet is out of our control. Thanks for helping me understand the issue!

i understand that! But since I'm interacting with SN, the first idea is that it's SN's problem. You need better logs and visual indications of payment progress. This is important so you can make better debug, but also so that the user is better informed.
