Failed transactions costing $250 is not fine!

I am not new to Ethereum, I know how it works (not 100%, but have a fair idea). But using decentralised exchange and trying to swap a token but just because it took a couple min extra for the transaction to confirm, the price changes, and the entire swap fails costing me $250 in gas fees.

That hurts. No increase in Ethereum price can compensate for stupid losses like these.

Edit: Was getting called out for not understanding how Base fee and all that works in EIP 1559, so adding a condition to the statement “I know how it works”
