 such as LND, this limit is set much lower to 12 HTLCS. This is because accepting a larger number of

 Therefore, similarly to how congestion control is handled for normal transaction, lightning channel
 updates can be done across an CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY tree, allowing nodes to safely use many more
 HTLCS.
