I’m using Compound v2, and everytime I try to enter a transaction the gas price comes in about $25 above where it should be for the current GWEI (15) required to get a transaction through. I checked another transaction 8 hours prior, while GWEI was 21, and set the GWEI limit to 500,000 max, and it still failed for me despite my transaction requiring less GWEI to get through. Anyone know what might be going on?
