For example connected MetaMask to Revoke Cash security utility, when venturing into established/reputable De-Fi sites like Uniswap via your MetaMask wallet and signing/confirming transactions shown on screen in metamask, why is it by default for every transaction that the approved limit is set to Unlimited/Max and to revoke this it cost gas fees Huh

If I do not revoke and do not pay the gas fee to revoke past smart contracts then I am open to smart contract risks/hacks correct?

My suggestion is that you never set the limit to unlimited, unless you know what you're doing, for example if you're going to make several transactions in a short period of time, want to save fees and then revoke.
If there is an exploit, they can use your approved limit to drain your funds, so you're correct

When transacting on De-Fi sites how do I set by default for the every Approved amount Limit to be auto adjusted to the amounts I want to just deal with? For example if I want to swap $100 USDC into $100 USDT on Uniswap then how do I auto set it to approved limit of $100 only not max/unlimited because in future I might forget about this past swap and lets say for example in future I deposited $1million stablecoins into Metamask and forgot to revoke the unlimited/max amount approval for the past $100 swap I did. Because I forgotten I risk losing $1Million Shocked

?

I don't want to keep on paying gas fees after every de-fi transactions to revoke past no longer needed smart contracts.

If I do not revoke past smart contracts approval amounts then this is still open and can be used for future transactions on the De-Fi site meaning if I do revoke past contracts then I have to pay gas fees again to set up a new smart contract approvals amounts on the same de-fi site like uniswap?

Also what are Signatures in Revoke.Cash?

The site you're operating on sets the suggestion limit, so I don't know if you can just set it to the required value by default.
Here I always adjust it manually when they set it to unlimited
As I said, if you leave the limit at unlimited, as long as the contract exists you will be subject to a hack that could drain your funds. It's not easy, but sometimes it happens
And yes, every time you change the limit, or revoke it, you have to make a transaction and pay the fees for it

There are some networks like Zksync that do something different, where you can just sign to make the transactions, but most operate in the same way

Being practical here, I do a lot of transactions on a regular basis, and the only network I have to manage better is ETH itself, because sometimes it's expensive to keep approving and revoking them
The rest, such as Base, Arb, Op, Polygon etc generally cost 1 cent for the limit and revoke, so I don't even bother

Okay you suggest leave at unlimited/max if you plan on doing several transactions in a short amount of time then revoke to save on revoke gas fees?

Do you manually set the approval amount after completing the transaction or before the transaction and if before how you manually set it in metamask and what limit in $dollars should I set it to, for example if its $100 usdt on tron uniswap into $100 usdc on arbitrum then do I just approval to simply $100 or do I have to set it higher to cover network overheads and gas fees?

There are no approval amounts in Zksync just sign the displayed amount?

In Revoke.Cash site utility I see on its Signatures page Tokens with Permit Support and I can cancel potential signatures for each token. What does this mean and if I cancel what will happen to my tokens in my wallet? Signatures require no gas fees right so if I cancel signature there should be no gas fees for cancelling right?
