lightning-askrene-inform-channel -- Command to add channel capacity restrictions to layer

SYNOPSIS

askrene-inform-channel layer short_channel_id_dir amount_msat inform

DESCRIPTION

Command added in v24.11.

The askrene-inform-channel RPC command tells askrene about channels we used so it can update its capacity estimates. For most accuracy, you should remove your own reservations before calling this. It can be applied whether the current channel exists or not.

layer (string): The name of the layer to apply this change to.
short_channel_id_dir (short_channel_id_dir): The short channel id and direction to apply this change to.
amount_msat (msat): The amount we used on the channel
inform (string) (one of "constrained", "unconstrained", "succeeded"): Whether this payment passed (implying capacity of at least that amount), failed (implying maximum capacity of one msat less), or succeeded (implying capacity has been reduced in this direction)

RETURN VALUE

On success, an object containing constraints is returned. It is an array of objects, where each object contains:

short_channel_id_dir (short_channel_id_dir): The short channel id and direction
layer (string): The name of the layer to apply this change to.
timestamp (u64): The UNIX timestamp when this constraint was created.
maximum_msat (msat, optional): The maximum value which this channel could pass.
minimum_msat (msat, optional): The minimum value which this channel could pass.
