### ⚠️ **Warning:** The deprecated fee rate option `--sat_per_byte` will be removed in release version **0.22**
75+
76+
The deprecated `--sat_per_byte` option will be fully removed. This flag was
77+
originally deprecated and hidden from the lncli commands in v0.13.0
78+
([PR#4704](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/4704)). Users should
79+
migrate to the `--sat_per_vbyte` option, which correctly represents fee rates
80+
in terms of virtual bytes (vbytes).
81+
82+
Internally `--sat_per_byte` was treated as sat/vbyte, this meant the option
83+
name was misleading and could result in unintended fee calculations. To avoid
84+
further confusion and to align with ecosystem terminology, the option will be
85+
removed.
86+
87+
The following RPCs will be impacted:
