Sometimes the app shows a very high fee, around $17, but if I close and reopen it, the fee drops to $1–3 for the same type of transaction.
Is this just a display bug, a TRON energy/bandwidth calculation issue, or normal Trust Wallet behavior?
Are you sending Trx or tokens like USDT? Trx should be low even if you don't have bandwidth left and if it's USDT transfer, it shouldn't be upto $1-3 dollars unless you are using an exchange wallet which cost around $1-$2 on average.
Maybe you should update your Trustwallet or use Tronlink app, it's more better for Tron ecosystem.
I’m sending USDT on TRON directly from Trust Wallet, not from an exchange wallet and not through SWIFT or anything like that
The transaction goes through normally afterward, so it feels more like a fee estimation issue than an actual network cost
I haven’t tried TronLink yet, but if this keeps happening I might give it a shot

I don't know the cause of such an error, but you know I have encountered similar things in the past when I was still actively using Trust Wallet; their fees were most times higher than usual.

TronLink or any other Tron wallet should be fine. I don't recommend updating Trust Wallet for that purpose.
In between: Tron Chain token transfers appear to be on the high side recently; if you are sending TRX to another wallet, the fee is within 1 TRX to 1.2 TRX, within the range of $0.35+, but for tokens like USDT, you spend as high as $1.50 to $3 in fees.
Yeah, that’s exactly my point
I’ve used 10+ wallets over the years, from hardware wallets to hot wallets, and I honestly haven’t seen this kind of fee behavior before
The only similar thing I remember was during the old Ethereum days when the network was heavily congested and gas estimates were all over the place.
With TW, though, it feels weird because the fee can change dramatically just by restarting the app.

Are you trying to send Tron without energy? If you do that without having enery, it would cost you a lot just to pay for a tx. If you're using a tx use energy, it will be much more cheaper than it.
However, if that fees is a calculation when you have energy to send Tron tx. I guess it may be a bug. As far as i know some wallets such as Trust wallet has terrible UI/UX in determining the tron fees changes.
It's because how complicated the tron fees calculation.
Interesting.
Could it be that the algorithm or built-in functions look at the wallet balance and somehow adjust the fee estimate based on that?
In all the cases where I had this bug with an inflated fee, it happened only when I was sending USDT.
