I run a core-lightning node with six active private channels with two nodes (ACINQ, allNice | torq.co) and over last couple of months most of the payments that I attempt fail with the output such as this:

Increasing the fee to 2% has not solved the problem, lightning-cli -k pay maxfeepercent=2 bolt11=lnbc500u1pnsyhulpp52adw3d2e8j7dz865n2j68h0gv25pzfpkrk3n7zmeu9x0e3f6a8qqdqqcqzzsxqrrssrzjq222c0sfnhhs8sf2xl3slefkfvfz8ltqq6vxj9pwl9jcpjzrnshq5rfzngqqzpqqqyqqqqqqqqqqraqq2qsp5q55vex6ghdwey3x0e6mf9xq4yh0g9302j0qppd84vlnfgcrgtj2q9qyyssqrglwd2sk5ergcqrgdf7c9jk9dhqchpr8mg26p5328qw8xd8jg32ythkax933n8ulf2lnwnd7707s3gyw3llcepfx5k5337lqx2y897gp4ttp6u

The payments never fail when I am trading on robosats
, they almost always fail with kucoin and bitrefill.
I have six active private channels and one inactive private channel (its state is "AWAITING_UNILATERAL"
),

whereas listpeerchannels
returns this.
I use LN over TOR, my config
is:
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
always-use-proxy=true
Am I being censored?
