This can be done easily with the custodial wallet, but if you have a non-custodial wallet, you must write a library[1] or use open source scripts[2] that have automatic automation of transactions so that the amount of X is sent every first day of the month at 12:00 and thus you can automatically renew your service.

Just keep in mind that if you make a mistake in your code and it sends the wrong amount, it would be nearly impossible to fix it. I suspect that some of those cases of enormous transaction fee could be a bug in automated script that mismatched the transaction amount and the fee, or miscalculated the fee.
