The decision was made to allow additional channel_update in the error
reply:
DECISION: document that scid is not binding, allow extra
channel_updates in errors for “upselling”.
AFAICT this is a deeply weird case. If another channel had capacity you
would have just used it. If another channel doesn't, sending a
channel_update doesn't help. And if there's a channel available at a
higher feerate or longer timeout, it raises the question of why you're
doing that rather than just taking the offer in front of you; that value
clearly used to be acceptable, and now you risk them routing around you.
Cheers,
Rusty.
