Short update: it's very quiet on my node. I might be too impatient. Or maybe my channels are too expensive now :)

my node has slowed over the weekend as well--but I did not raise my fees super high (except for 2 channels that are sinks). The trouble with the opacity of the network is that we can't know if it's just a slow day in general for the network, or for our particular channels...

Yesterday was MLK day in the US, so maybe nobody bothered to use the LN. Let's give it a week or so...

Some day I think we will have a publication source where node runners upload anonymous stats so we can see general wide angle trends like 24 activity from Germany to Kenya. That would help node runners see where demand is and make decisions about creating new connections, and it would allow us to see if the network as a whole was slow on a prior day, which might help in automating fee adjustments (not changing them if the network as a whole is the reason for the lower throughput).
