The problem was related to a specific type of transaction that was introduced in Berlin. Open Ethereum clients calculated the cost of one such transaction differently from the rest of the network nodes, which is why the whole block of transactions was invalidated by them. As a result, the Etherscan blockchain explorer stopped working, and the BitStamp and Coinbase exchanges temporarily limited the withdrawal of ETH and ERC20 tokens.
“OpenEthereum estimated the price of this transaction with a small error, which caused all further problems (the block was rejected as invalid),” explained Martin Keppelmann, CEO of Gnosis.
According to Go Ethereum developer Marius van der Weyden, the bug was so subtle that it could not be detected during all stages of preliminary testing.
“After installing the update, the Open Ethereum nodes should be able to restore sync without any problems. For example, they don't have to resynchronize from block zero or manually delete a block, ”added Keppelmann.
Based on feedback from users and my experience with transactions that I made today, the commissions on the network have not decreased.
Looking forward to the next hard fork.
We are all grateful to Vitalik! Genius!!! Let him live and rest. Creates a family and gets a little thick... Many agree with me....

The hype around NFT is indeed contributing to rising tx costs. Basically everyone can launch NFT and foster network congestion. There is only one way out and that is tech that solves the problem.
If I get it right, anyone can have arbitrary spam included in the transactions lifting the conf time and causing the gas price to rise? Then should not sharding mitigate this issue. With parallel chains u can filter out the garbage that weights down the transactions in question to the sidechain and have them processed separately and for a higher cost if the sender is alright to pay extras for their garbage.
