It was not a zap. It was a regular payment.
I have a private channel with the Stacker.news node, and when I sent the payment, I explicitly selected the Stacker.news channel as the first hop.

Then maybe SN node understand that regular payment as a zap on SN and charged the SN fee for zaps. I see this as the only explanation of that high fee.

Hm.. I don’t understand how LN node could interpret an incoming htlc as a zap and silently charge an application-level fee.

Maybe because SN node consider all forwarded payments through their node as zaps, so they will pass them through the lnproxy automatically?

Why do you think I use only CCs and do not open a channel with SN node from my node(s)?

Anyways, is a very good question your post.
