Additional Context

EIP-1559 doesn't specify a minimum priority fee, so zero should be ok. But wallets and mempools (Geth, as mentioned) sometimes impose a minimum for who knows what reason.

I think geth hardcodes a minimum fee of 1 wei. Then it also has a configurable value which defaults to like 1 GWEI.
