Under EIP-1559, the bidding system is automated and algorithmically calculated, with the set fee amount fluctuating depending on network congestion. Instead, these fees will be burned on the network, reducing the circulating supply of ETH over time and addressing concerns around inflation of the coin.
The last time the market becomes active, the fees of ETH was still expensive so I don't know if that updates is really working or that is just at trial and error, ETH team as so desperate to solve this problem which they have to do their best or else it will create another panic.
Many developers are avoiding ETH network because of this fees, they have to act fast and do the necessary updates as soon as possible before its too late.
