fee_satoshis
is the amount they suggest, so you should only respond with a different amount if it's disagreeable. max_fee_satoshis
is the worst case for them, so choosing it is fairly anti-social.
The spec does not actually spell this out, unfortunately, but when combined with CLN's "YOLO ignore-fee-rates" option (which sets the feerate to 0xFFFFFFF), the result is stupidly expensive:
ElementsProject/lightning#7242
(And yes, v3 close fixes this, but this is deployed now...)
