Is it right to say it's not bigger than 1 BTC?
even less, must consider the channel reserves
reply
So, are channel reserves something the user sets, or is it a percentage of the total?
reply
a % of the total. yes if you know how to do it, you can set it manually but usually is automatically 1 %

But there are more...
- anchor reserves
- commit_fees that vary if the mempool fees are spiking
- buffer channel reserves
so many fucking reserves that if you open a shity tiny channel you end up with almost nothing available to use.
