The default value is 1000 sat/vb. Setting this value below 100 sat/vb + is not allowed, as low fee rate can cause transactions not confirming in + time, which could result in fund loss. + Please note that the actual fee rate to be used is deteremined by the fee + estimator used(for instance `bitcoind`), and this value is a cap on the max + allowed value. So it's expected that this cap is rarely hit unless there's + mempool congestion. + ## RPC Additions ## lncli Additions
