Node resets base fee and fee rates to old policy #4654

I observed some strange behavior on my lightning node (version 0.10.0)

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

Two days ago I changed my fee rates to achieve the goal of setting a zero base fee with lightning-cli setchannelfee all 0 21 I also changed the values in my config file in case I later restart lightning.

Today I was examining how many nodes in gossip are signaling zero base fee and I realized that my node didn't do so despite having done so two days ago.

By checking listpeers I observed that my node was having the old fee policy that I had from before.

However after running lightning-cli setchannelfee all 0 21 again the output of listpeers also shows the new policies as expected.

I don't have the time right now to check the code or log file I wonder if the config values are kept in memory and are not being updated so that the node will eventually reset all the fees after using lightning-cli setchannelfee all 0 21.

I will not restart my node now but rather observe if the fees will be reset again. if so I will restart and see what happens.
