Gas Price Really High on Amoy Testnet

[pacman21]

I can't deploy or even interact with contracts because the gas price is so high on the Amoy Test net. "transaction underpriced: tip needed 30000000000, tip permitted 1000000000". I even had issues transferring Matic on the test net.

We have any news on why this is so and when this can fixed?

@pacman21 the base fee depends on the network utilisation. I believe if you supply a bit higher than the recommended values, it should go through. Can you share the exact values you're using? Thanks!

Does anyone ever read these threads? A single contract deployment cost me 1.15 MATIC. The faucet I use gives 0.1 per day. It's ridiculous.

EDIT: now Alchemy faucet gives 0.1 Amoy MATIC once per 72 hours. I must claim it every day for 30 days to deploy a single contract 😡😡😡

The logic used in gasstation API has been updated to reflect PIP-35 changes and few other small changes to keep the priority fee at conservative levels. The base fee was pretty low earlier as well.
