All errors

Gas and fees

max priority fee per gas higher than max fee per gas


What it means

The transaction's tip (priority fee) is set higher than its overall fee ceiling (max fee), which is contradictory: the tip is paid out of the ceiling. This comes from manually editing one field without the other.

How to fix it

Set the max fee to at least the base fee plus your priority fee, or clear both custom values and let the wallet fill them in.
