I think is also about the routes is taking in the payment moment.
I sent from Green to :
- Blixt - worked with no issues, various amounts
- Zeus - worked with no issues, various amounts
- Stacker.news - worked, no issues, but only small amounts (tips)
- Alby - worked 100% all the time, various amounts
- Phoenix - worked, but when I sent more than 20k sats it failed 1st intent. 2nd intent worked after few minutes.
- Blink - worked 100% all the time
- some other private nodes, worked with little issues of liquidity.
I tried (amouts of 212121 sats) and you are right Alby and Blink work all the time, but impossible to send to Bitkit for example. But it succeeds to reach my own node for some reason (big channel with ACINQ I maybe)...
But still is' strange from a pleb node runner point of view, when our own small nodes can send without any problem and an LSP can't lol
My experience:
1 payment to my own LND node with lots of liquidity: successful
All subsequent payments of any amount to any other wallet failed.
These include:
Zeus
Phoenix
Mutiny
Alby
My node again
I just tried to send 212121 sats to Mutiny and it worked well.
But it's really often that I'm having problems like you are experiencing to be fair
