Bug: Gas Price handling by Metamask may reject transaction unnecessarily #580

Describe the bug
When doing a redeem the transaction estimate was lower than the ETH I had in my wallet but Metamask still rejected the transaction saying insufficient fees.

  • I had 0.00921 ETH $17.96
  • Transaction fee was 0.0086 ETH $16.80
    Note: Increasing the ETH in my wallet allowed the transaction to go through.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Seamless App and redeem a token (may. happen with mint as well)
  2. Have slightly more WETH in your wallet than the transaction fee.
  3. Click confirm
  4. Metmask wallet displays an error about not enough gas and will not let you procede.

Expected behavior
Transaction should go through.
Here is a tenderly trace of the succesful transaction after I increased the gas.
