I don’t let myself get obsessed with balanced channels. As long as there’s good routing and overall liquidity I’m not going to micromanage. Let the strong channels survive.

I just try to keep liquidity on both sides of the channel so it can route if an opportunity comes my way. If it gets too tight to one side I’ll rebalance. I’ve dropped my fees and it’s helped a lot with getting routes. Seeing some back and forth and some channels seem to stay in pretty good shape. 🤙🏻
+1 — I dont obsess over having every single one of my channels balanced at all times. Rather I make sure my overall capacity is somewhat balanced.
Main key to me has been managing the max HTLC number to match my local liquidity. I do this about 3 times a week. This has allowed liquidity to flow both ways in every single one of my channels. I haven’t had to do any manual rebalance in about a year!
