Red are inbound and blue are outbound, I don't understand how to rebalance so I got BOS balance of satoshis and it keeps saying fee too high, but i thought getting a low rebalance fee had mostly to do with have an inbound channel with high liquidity and low fees which the two top are, but they see little traffic. My outbound bottom see little traffic so maybe I need to explore new peers, my other channels do pretty decent in traffic but still not understanding why rebalance fee is so high with BOS and what i can do to maybe attract more inbound traffic? Scrap bottom two and find new peers? Lower fees? Even if a channel is inbound, once i have local balance on that channel I can send back to that node, right? I thought I understood but feel like im drowning in high fees and unbalanced channels, why is running a LN so time consuming and user unfriendly...I had fun setting it up, and enjoy the thought of helping the network grow and add channels for people to buy coffee and other things with their sats, but man this rebalance thing sucks...

Circular rebalancing require probing many routes to find a route
Like when paying on lightning, the lower your max fee and the higher the rebalance amount, the more payment attempts required and the less reliable it is. A tool like
boswill need to try many routes before succeeding.A more reliable way to rebalance is to use something like Loop. If you are using litd, you can configure it to autoloop and keep things balanced for you.
would then be easier to make the rebalance in smaller batches instead of a single big one?
Yes, for circular rebalances, start small, find a fee rate that works, and give
bostime to probe (eventually it will try every possible route).
