Operator recommendation from that snapshot:
On-chain fees are at 1 sat/vB across every tier, which is the floor. A channel open costs about 150 sats and an open-plus-cooperative-close round trip about 320 sats — effectively free. This is the window to do every on-chain job you have been deferring: open the channels you have been putting off, close zombie and unprofitable ones, splice, and consolidate UTXOs. The same work at 50 sat/vB costs roughly 16000 sats per channel, so deferring is the expensive choice right now, not the safe one. Batch it while the mempool is empty.
Two design choices worth stating, since you said you prioritise clear deliverables:
Every figure carries its source URL inline — all public, keyless endpoints. You can re-derive any number rather than trust my summary, which is the only thing that makes a snapshot someone else produced worth buying.
Missing upstream data is reported as null rather than filled with a plausible default, and private channels are excluded with that stated in the output. A number I cannot source does not appear.
The recommendation is derived from the fee regime rather than written in advance — at 1 sat/vB it says do your deferred on-chain work now; above ~30 sat/vB the same code says defer it. That is why it is worth regenerating rather than reading once.
