Lightning Network Daemon caps fee estimates to 10,000 satoshis/vByte to limit high Bitcoin transaction fees.

The Lightning Network Daemon (LND) has introduced a cap on fee estimates from its external fee API, limiting them to a maximum of 10,000 satoshis per virtual byte. This update, included in the release candidate v0.21.5-beta.rc1 published on Oct. 22, aims to prevent unusually high fee estimates that could affect fee-sensitive wallet operations. The cap applies only to the external API estimates and does not affect local backend fee estimates. Additionally, the update fixes a connection-pool deadlock issue in SQLite nodes. This release candidate is a pre-release version with no database migrations included.
