Starting with block height 921799, I have enabled Auto Fees (AF) and Auto Rebalancing (AR) through LNDg. I have historically managed fees myself and have not rebalanced channels. I am heeding the advice of smarter node runners by enabling these features to "support the network".
Default oBase is 0; Default oRate is 1000 ppm. AF will adjust accordingly. Cheers!
I've never used AR-Autopilot but your saying that it will both turn AR on and off. I thaught that it only turned AR on. Do you know what criteria it uses to turn AR off? Are there settings for this?
Yes Autopilot will enable AR at the channel-level. Here is my Autopilot logs page showing it dis/enabling it for various channels:

Looking at one specific channel, you can see it turning on/off:

If you click the Autopilot menu, it can show you recommended actions that it would take if you do not have it enabled.
The actions are based on flow, and the settings that you have for your node or those specific channels. I'm not a technologist so unfortunately cannot read the code :) You should definitely read the source code, and then have some commentary added to Github for me to read!
It seems to be doing OK. The smallest fee change increment is one hour right now; I'd like to be able to make it 30 minutes if possible. I have not used Lightning Terminal for auto-fees. Better than LNDg?
I may be wrong, but the shortest interval I've found for the fee change is 2 days. I couldn't find any settings to adjust it, either. I'll definitely spend some time later today checking out LNDg. Thanks!
As a prior user of Lightning Terminal (LT), I can say confidently that LNDg is superior. 1. LT achieves its AF feature by sending data to Lightning Labs which is a bit of a security issue and means the update rate is significently slower (2-3 days) than LNDg which can be set as low as you'd like. 2. LT does not have an auto rebalance feature. 3. LT does not provide information about failed HTLC's 4. LT's Auto channel open feature foes not provide any data regarding the reason for speciffic channel selections. 5. LT does not come bundeled with a DB (LNDg uses SQL) that can be easily queried using tools like SQLWeb to get baiscally any data from the node.
