[invoices]

; If a hold invoice has accepted htlcs that reach their expiry height and are

; invoices can be settled right up until their expiry height, but will result
; in the channel they are on being force closed if they are not resolved before
; expiry.
; 
; Lnd goes to chain before the expiry for a htlc is reached so that there is 
; time to resolve it on chain. This value needs to be greater than the
