Is a very good question, but you need to give more details:
  • liquidity on each side
  • how much is the channel reserve and how much you already used from that channel (take in consideration the channel fee buffer
  • is a private channel ?
  • are you using CLI to send out or a specific app ?
liquidity on each side
Machine2 has under 100 Sats. ( Was hoping to confirm send out before depositing to many sats)
how much is the channel reserve and how much you already used from that channel (take in consideration the channel fee buffer
Where can I see reserve per channel in CLN or Ride the lighting? I see a Dust limit which is currently larger than the Machine 2 balance ( Which I am starting to think is the issue).
is a private channel ?
No Can a channel be swtich between private and public or is this done at opening of the channel
are you using CLI to send out or a specific app ?
I have tried CLI and Ride the lighting.

Machine2 has under 100 Sats
That could be the issue (see the buffer spec link I posted). If is the only channel with that node try moving with keysend from node1 to node2 some more sats, try a bit more than the channel reserve (around 1%).
Yes, when you create the channel you choose between private and public and you cannot switch afterwards.

193 sats \ 1 reply \ @Wumbo OP 23 Aug
That was the issue, Thank you.
For anyone in the future that might read this:
In the Core Lighting web UI, goto channel details there is a "Spendable" amount. Make sure this reads as greater than zero. Which is different from "Maximum Send" amount which shows your whole channel size balance. ( not reflecting the reserve amount)

If you own the two nodes, the keysend is key to maintain some kind of balance in the channel and avoid this problems.
