# I'm encountering an issue with MetaMask showing this warning: "This transaction would have cost you extra fees, so we stopped it. Your money is still in your wallet."

Technical Details:

- Using Viem for contract interactions
- BSC Testnet
- Gas Limit: 35,000,000 units (seems too high)
- Max Fee Per Gas: 0.00000001 TBNB

Current Implementation:

```typescript
const gasPrice = await publicClient.getGasPrice();
  
return walletClient.writeContract({
  // ... contract details
  maxFeePerGas: gasPrice,
  maxPriorityFeePerGas: gasPrice / BigInt(2)
});

've tried:

1. Setting custom gas limits
2. Using maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas
3. Letting MetaMask handle gas estimation
How can I properly handle gas estimation to prevent this MetaMask warning?
