Unfortunately gas fees for Ethereum transactions can be very expensive these days, especially when you are transferring tokens. For me, it's frustrating to have to pay such high fees just to move my own money.

For your question about Metamask, I think there might be a way to lower fuel costs from within the wallet. When you press Submit, you will see an option to "Edit" which will allow you to manually adjust fuel prices and limits.

Lowering this value will reduce the fee you pay, but may also mean that your transaction takes longer to confirm. So, to deal with high gas costs, in my opinion, it doesn't help much by just editing gas costs.
