Instead of consolidating into a single UTXO, in the future you could consider splitting it into several pieces of different value. You could follow for example the "Preferred series", or an exponential distribution.
E.g. if you have A bitcoins, you could split it into pieces of 1/8×A, 2/8×A, and 5/8×A. If you have a larger amount, continue to follow that distribution and split into e.g. 1/38×A, 2/38×A, 5/38×A, 10/38×A, 20/38×A. That way you still have few UTXOs to keep your future spending cost limited, but you don’t have to show your entire stack if you want to make a small payment.
Also, feerate has lately dropped below 3 ṩ/vB at times.
Thanks! Yes, I’ve reassessed my approach. I’m leaving the larger one for now, but have built up some other medium sized UTXO’s and will be sure not to have any more small to extra small ones on chain.
