Read this about channel reserves https://bitcoin.design/guide/how-it-works/liquidity/#what-is-a-channel-reserve

With most channels you need to preserve 1% of the balance on your side of the channel. The latest version of ZEUS gives you a visual breakdown of these reserves on the single channel view.

I did have one channel with sufficient reserves, but others were smaller. I’ve closed the smaller channels, perhaps this will help. The larger channel should have been chosen though?
