There's a high chance that the sender is mistakenly putting unusually high gwei price and made a mistake.

18 july gwei peaked at 30 gwei don't know what kind of tx it is but if it's just normal contract interaction probably would take a bout 21k gas.
I don't think it reached that high. Anyway, use L2 if you can since interoperability has been matured, they are much more cheaper.

If we search the transaction, they set the gas price to over 1 million gwei.

The next transaction of this address was an on-chain message to the fee recipient that says "Help! Some buggy wallet sent this transaction on ethereum instead of pulsechain, can you please send me back the super-high fee 31.22ETH this mistake has caused? please it is a huge amount of money to me. TX 0xdb724e0f168ab1db6e9172eeeaefcd0d0dad901b2b21df06c943d4c46a78abac"

They were later refunded 29.5 ETH, which was confirmed by Titan Builder on Twitter.
