This specifies whether the channel is used for payments, or not. For example, you ought to switch it off for drains, since it would be difficult to re-gain outbound.

Balanced Ratio (local / capacity)

The balanced ratio can be left as is, or overridden. If left as is, it represents the channel’s optimal ratio. It can be set manually to tell Orb how much local balance is desired in that particular channel.

Balanced ratio is used when automatically selecting channels for payments, or for rebalances.
