Set routing budget
C

Most nodes (including the mobile "node-in-the-phone" providers like Phoenix and Zeus) allow the user to configure a maximum routing budget. When sending larger payments, the option to increase the maximum budget makes it easier to find a route. In Alby Hub, payments over 500K sats fail rather frequently (even with plenty of outbound liquidity to multiple channel partners/LSPs). With the freedom to control routing fees, this would hopefully be less of an issue.

The maximum fee is already 1% which is quite high. Increasing the maximum fee might help but I don't think it solves the root issue. Out of curiosity, what would be the maximum fee you would be willing to pay?
Hey roland thanks for the quick reply. That is fairly high; I hadn't realized. I wonder if there's another issue at hand re: making payments lately, as I tried a few smaller ones (100K-250K) and those failed as well. If it persists, I'll reach back out to support.
Ha, spending 10K sats to move 1M is a pretty good threshold already; not sure I'd want to bump it up much higher than that.
