74.1 sat/vB mempool min fee!
It's possible that someone is setting up for an attack on lightning. The current Lightning protocol is kinda broken with respect to fees, as your commitment transaction (and refund transaction) isn't necessarily high fee enough to get propagated.
It's not quite as much of a problem as you'd expect, as many well connected nodes (rg mempool.space) have much bigger mempools. But anyway, lightning needs to get this fixed.
Not using RBF to begin with was a big mistake.
