Issue with LND Node: synced_to_graph is false and asking for high fees

[ImGenius]

I was running a LND node , I succesfully synced my node and created a channel but I ran into some problem, Even though I created a channel and it's functional my Graph is false .

Another serious issue is it is asking so much fee , usually we use LND for less fee , but it is now asking too much fee , here in 20k sats it is asking 952 sats .

Is there any problem with my Channel or LND node

952 sats fee on LND definietly too much high . Btw which channel you created can you share?


As for graph true , try connecting multiple peer and then let it be idle to synced . Usually it takes some time to be true your graph true.

Have you waited days after it reported "synced_to_chain": true,
Or it's juts a few hours?

Because those are separate sync, the former is the Bitcoin Blockchain while the latter is for the Lightning Network.

If it's taking too long, you might need to check your logs for possible issues.

That's just your "fee_limit" and not the actual fee that you'll pay.
It still depends on the route that the transaction will take to get to the recipient, it just it'll fail if all routes need more than that fee_limit.

When synced_to_graph is false, your node does not yet have the full map of the network. It can only find paths through the few channels it knows about, which usually means inefficient multi-hop routes with unusually high routing fees, or it may fail to find cheap routes entirely.

First, check your peers. Make sure your node is connected to several active, well-connected nodes so gossip sync can complete. If you are running neutrino or have recently started the node, downloading network announcements can take some time. Once synced_to_graph becomes true, your pathfinding will see normal routes across the network.

As for the fees, routing fees are set individually by each node along the payment route. If you only have one channel open to a peer with expensive forwarding policies or poor connectivity, you will be forced to pay whatever rates their downstream hops require. Opening a channel directly to a well-connected peer will give you much better routing options.
