LND v0.21.5-beta.rc1 limits external Bitcoin fee estimates to 10,000 sats/vB

Community Trust Score Verified 96 % Real Verified 23 votes Updated 7 minutes ago Lightning Network Daemon (LND) published version v0.21.5-beta.rc1 on October 22, a pre-release candidate that introduces a ceiling of 10,000 satoshis per virtual byte for external Bitcoin fee estimates. The update addresses a gap in the software’s handling of data received from external fee APIs, which previously had a lower bound but lacked a corresponding upper limit. The release notes specify that the new change applies a hard ceiling to values supplied by external services. This limit also bounds the API’s minimum-relay estimate.
