Gas prices on polygon when markets fall

I have recently been using polygon, and have some leveraged assets on Aave.

The ETH price has been falling, and so have all other cryptos, so I thought I better add a bit more crypto to may deposit to avoid a liquidation.

Seems like everyone is doing this, look at the gas prices on polygon

Normally I can get away with 1 Gwei, its 1000X that, admittedly, its still very cheap compared to Ethereum, but shows when you desperately need a fast transaction the polygon network really jams up.

This is the ETH price chart incase you were sleeping, and that's what is driving the gas price surge

Just thought I would post this as a warning for those in leveraged positions, make sure you keep on top of it, before you have to spend lots of gas to protect yourself when you unwind the positions.
