Background
Had a force close with a fee rate 53.1 sat/vB, which I was happy to wait out. LND immediately bumped the fee to effective rate 254, overpaying the market x4. Moreover, it took several small UTXOs from the wallet, making me pay 403,525 sats ($181.83) on fees. My commitment fee limit is 100 sats/vB.
