Auto Pilot Now Different When We Log In

[BonzoDogDooDah]

Hi All,

We have Auto Pilot enabled and when we first set it up it showed that you could enable or disable a channnel so we chose to enable all of them. We now have enough channels that we have been accepted as a +Good node and are no longer pending, thank you. We would like to know why when we now log in and choose Auto Pilot we can no longer choose to disable a channel from Auto Pilot if we decide to do so? Actually no options show up at all now? Also is it usual for the Auto Pilot to lower most of our channels to 1 and then the rest to very low fee rates? Our goal is to help the network but to also get some return on our investment if possible? If you have any suggestions as to how we may reach these goals please let us know. Our node is named: Handshake. Thank you :)

You should be able to enable/disable channels for autofees in the Loop view. Each channel has a switch where you can toggle autofees. If you see small fee rates, then you're either not providing liquidity where it's needed, or you don't have inbound liquidity in channels which might want to send over your node. You can start rebalancing/looping out channels that are inbound-depleted, you could select them by analyzing your past forwards.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Can we set up our node in such a way that it will self rebalance itself without having to loop out or do circular rebalancing as we have found those options to be cost prohibitive due to the fact that we are not able to gain that investment back after the channel gets refilled with inbound liquidity. Please let us know what we can do? Thank you. :)

Unfortunately this is a trial and error (and market) process, which we try to automate in the future, but this is not there yet. You'll need to experiment and sometimes also invest more in order to find out potential sources of income. It would also be important to raise fees to targets where you'd expect funds to flow after increasing inbound liquidity (autofees doesn't interact with loop/rebalancing yet). This way you may be able to get some of the invested fees back.
