Does that happen frequently? Which peers don’t have paths to them? Is it an issue of the receiving peer not managing their liquidity, or the sender not finding a route? I noticed that Lightning payments have become more expensive over time (~2500ppm now), but if you’re willing to pay that, there always seems to be a route

Lightning payments rigged by Blockstream and Visa, fleecing users with 2500ppm fees.
Youre conflating your experience with limitations of the protocol. There is absolutely no way to guarantee a payment will succeed regardless of fees. Layer 1 is all about fees. Lightning depends on a daisy chain liquidity that can change at a moments notice.
