I'm lucky to have several large (~1 BTC and more) channels and enough inbound liquidity on my #LightningNetwork node. Because of this, I also see large forward requests. Some succeed, some fail.
However, it's always saddening when my node has to reject a 0.9 BTC forward request with lots of sats attached as fees I could claim. I simply don't have that much liquidity.
I wonder how this wrks out for other node operators - Alex Bosworth with his yalls nodes as an example.
It'd be nice for LSPs/wallets to split larger payments (MPP), possibly with #PickhardtPayments. That way, my node could at least serve a (large?) fraction of the total amount. But, who knows, maybe those 0.9 BTC in my example above are just 1% of the total amount :)
