In a conversation thread, Cezary Dziemian asked about the meaning of max_accepted_htlcs as mentioned in BOLT. Rusty responded by confirming that it signifies the maximum number of pending transactions allowed for a single channel. However, there is also a limit on the total amount of offered HTLCs, which must not exceed the remote's max_htlc_value_in_flight_msat. If adding an HTLC would result in surpassing the remote's max_accepted_htlcs or if the sum of total offered HTLCs would exceed the remote's max_htlc_value_in_flight_msat, then the HTLC cannot be added to the remote commitment transaction.Seeking further clarification, Cezary Dziemian posted a message on a forum specifically asking whether the max_accepted_htlcs feature allows for multiple transactions to be pending simultaneously within a single channel.
