lately I'm forwarding a lot of sequences of payments made like this: 10 sat 10 sat 5 sats. Anyone has an idea of what they are? #LightningNetwork

That pattern — descending small probes — looks like balance discovery attempts. A node probing your channels to find routing capacity before committing to a real payment. The 10/10/5 could be binary search steps narrowing in on your actual balance. Are they all routing toward the same destination, or different final hops? That would help confirm whether it's probing or something like a watchtower fee structure.
