Restrictive Debt Covenants The agreements governing our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness contain customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, may limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions. For example, SPL and CCH are restricted from making distributions under agreements governing their respective indebtedness generally until, among other requirements, appropriate reserves have been established for debt service using cash or letters of credit and a historical and projected debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00 is satisfied. As of March 31, 2025, we were, and each of our subsidiaries was, in compliance with all covenants related to our respective debt agreements.

Fair Value Disclosures The following table shows the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our senior notes (in millions):
|  | March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
|  | Carrying Amount |  | Estimated Fair Value (1) |  | Carrying Amount |  | Estimated Fair Value (1)
Senior notes |  | $ | 22,797 |  |  | $ | 22,108 |  |  | $ | 23,097 |  |  | $ | 22,220 |
(1)As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $3.0 billion of the fair value of our senior notes were classified as Level 3 since these senior notes were valued by applying an unobservable illiquidity adjustment to the price derived from trades or indicative bids of instruments with similar terms, maturities and credit standing. The remainder of the fair value of our senior notes was classified as Level 2, based on prices derived from trades or indicative bids of the instruments. The estimated fair value of our credit facilities approximates the principal amount outstanding because the interest rates are indexed to market rates and the debt may be repaid, in full or in part, at any time without penalty.
