Fees will normalize only after eth 2.0 release or after defi death. I dont know what will be sooner

These two factors could be the cost recovery of expensive ETH gas, but maybe this is the business game of the big miners. They are still hungry for profit, all will be done when they reach their goal.
May be the above reason is the cause of the spike in ETH gas price but that doesn't mean that the transaction cost will only reduce after ETH 2.0
I don't think we will have to wait that long for the transaction cost to reduce. Things will get back normal soon as the pending transactions in the ETH blockchain are validated in the upcoming weeks. I think the transaction cost will reduce in less than a month.

The fees to send ETH are minimum $5 in fees ... is it going to change back to "normal"?
Who dictates how much fees are charged?

If ETH is claimed to be decentralized where are those high fees coming from if not from a centralized party?!

I also experience that matter when I tried to transfer a token to another wallet which so happen to have a very high fee. I think there is a malfunction in the program of ethereum network and I am hoping that they can fixed this kind of problem and get the normal charge/fee in every transaction because if they not gonna fix it, it will definitely their lost.

This high Ethereum Fees problem occurs every time when ETH network is traffic jam.This is not the first time it's happened, and it won't be the last. I think nobody knows when will the transaction fee be reduced to normal fee, what we can do is waiting,no other method. It's said that ETH v2.0 can solve this high fee problem,let us wait its release and see what will happen.

now Ethereum's GAS has dropped to 138 Gwei, this is good because it's not as expensive as yesterday, I'm sure it will drop again below 100 Gwei,
Everyone expected that, unfortunately when altcoin down Ethereum Gas also down too

its will not drop below 100 if DeFi concepts & uniswap exchange is not stop, the main cause of eth fee are high because of two of that, im very sure if these 2 are stop running on ethereum chain and uniswap will support other token, the eth gas price will drasticly drop below 10.

That's unlikely to happen given that all the DeFi projects are continuously making a huge volume in the network we will have to wait indefinitely or we'll have to access the fee as it is and live through it like what we experienced in Bitcoin, this is what happens when the scalability is not given enough attention.

Ethereum gas free is back to normal, I believe that the fee can still increase in future if Ethereum start surging again, also most DeFi projects are running on Ethereum blockchain so congestion will happen for sure, we have to endure because the 2.0 upgrade won't happen anytime soon
2.0 is not applicable for the current year, it is just a future plan and it seems to have nothing to do with gas fees. It is natural that gas fees will increase with if eth price have up, but these fees will not have a good effect on all people because there are a lot of beginners in this crypto market. I am waiting for a small token sale because the gas fees at this time are not comfortable for me.

Fees have risen so high that on September 1, ETH miners made a record profit of over $500,000 in just one hour. At the time of writing, it cost about $6.57, on average, to send a transaction over the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. That compares with fees of just $0.09 in April

It has been a pain this past few weeks to experience the high Gass of eth transactions, I was beginning to wish I can swap my erc20 to other networkwith less transaction fees, if this is what users will continue to experience whenever there is a price increase then there is a big problem, I expect the team to find a solution.
This is a general situation when you use the Ethereum platform and I also find it very annoying to trade. There will certainly be a fix soon, and Ethereum 2.0 will be what everyone needs in the near future. A few days ago I made a transaction fee of up to $50 when trading at Uniswap and it got me very frustrated using the platform.

$5? If it is 5 then it is fair enough. The list I have paid so far in gas fee is $10+. And most times are just cheap assets. I am beginning to be worrisome on this eth gas fees. And I keep asking every expert I see if the fee will ever come back to normal. This is becoming extortion from the part of the miners. Something should be done please
take it easy, the fee will return to normal, I also transferred Ethereum to the exchange and the fee was only $ 1, it happened in the morning (at my place), because the market was busy, so the fee was also expensive again, just keep calm

The increase in fees in any network is determined by the amount of users transacting during a period of time and if there are more users sending the transactions simultaneously the gas fees will go higher as the network become congested. Until there is an upgrade that would improve things drastically you need to content with the higher fees.

Ethereums co-founder vitalik also concerns about the increasing transaction fee of the ethereum.I think they are working on it.But not sure ethereums fees can reduce after the update of Ethereum 2.0.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/vitalik-buterin-warns-high-fees-threaten-ethereums-security/amp

The way DeFi coins are trending on the market if it continues for a year then I think its almost impossible to reduce the transaction fees of ethereum.People wants their transaction to be fast and because of the great interest of DeFi coin total amount of transaction has increased significantly in Eth blockchain.Thats why people are paying more fees to transfer their coin thats why ethereums fees are increasing.So I hope after the update it will be fixed.Because if the fee of 5-6$ we are all suffering.

new ethereum 2.0 will help ethereum decrease their fee because they are using staking cocepts whcih will not effect the transactions fee even its a million transactions a day, just look at trx or eos, they are not PoW coin and that would not bring the fee high as hell, they have own fixed reward for stakers per day.

Quote

Ethereum 2.0 is planned to be rolled out in at least three phases: Phase 0, 1, and 2. Phase 0 is planned to launch in 2020, with Phases 1 and 2 to be released in following years.

Phase 0: In the first phase of Ethereum 2.0, the “Beacon Chain” will be implemented. The Beacon Chain stores and manages the registry of validators, and will implement the
Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for Ethereum 2.0. The original Ethereum PoW chain will continue to run alongside the new Ethereum PoS chain, ensuring there is no break in data continuity.

Phase 1: The second phase of Ethereum 2.0 will likely roll out in 2021. The primary improvement of Phase 1 is the integration of shard chains. Shard chains are a scalability mechanism in which
the Ethereum blockchain is “split” into 64 different chains, which allows for parallel transaction, storing,  processing of information. At its most conservative estimate it will enable 64 times more
throughput than Ethereum 1.0, but it is designed to be able to handle several hundred times more data than Ethereum 1.0.

Phase 2: The third phase of Ethereum 2.0 will likely be launched in 2021 or 2022. This phase is currently less clearly defined than the above two phases, but will involve adding ether accounts and enabling transfers and withdrawals, implementing cross-shard transfers and contract calls, building execution environments so that scalable applications can be built on top of Ethereum 2.0, and bringing the Ethereum 1.0 chain into Ethereum 2.0 so that Proof of Work can finally be turned off.

Many further improvements are planned for research and development after Phase 2 is complete. Vitalik provides insight into some of these improvements in this easy-to-digest diagram.

Conclusion :

Scaling through sharding takes place in phase 1 & 2. That is when network congestion & associated high gas fees gets fixed (in theory).
PoS takes place in phase 0, that is scheduled for end of this year (soft target). PoS will not fix network congestion or fix high gas fee.

With phase 0 (PoS) already delayed a few times, i suspect phase 1 (with the scaling solution and planned for 2021) will also get delayed.
Always remember that ETH 2.0 is a multi-year update.

If you want to have fast and secure transactions with low fees, then find another network. This Ethereum network will stay congested for some years.

Transaction fees for ethereum is getting way too high and I've decided to suspend every transaction on ethereum until the value drops. It's been said that the reason for the hike is due to Defi tokens who are always flooding the blockchain with transaction and I learnt that the ethereum 2.0 project would ensure scalability, but the issue is that the launching of ethereum 2.0 project is taking too long. I learnt that it would commence in summer, and summer is almost over and we're yet to see anything.

As strange as it sounds, the amount of transaction fees is chosen by those who send transactions on the network, i.e. you and I and many other ordinary people. Each of us strives to make sure that his transaction is completed as soon as possible. When miners form blocks, they choose the transactions with the largest Commission amount (the cost of gas) and form blocks from them.
A simple explanation is better than a thousand words, the ETH network works based on hierarchy. Who pays more will get funds faster and the rest will wait until the next mined block clearance happens. The cost of gas has increased a lot and $0.1 worth transactions in 2019 now cost more than $3. ETH2.0 should solve this infinite loop unless the market becomes volatile again.

All the people are waiting for Ethereum 2.0. Are you sure that it will bring reduction in the cost of transaction fees, and faster speed? Personally, I do not hope for this very much, but I try to adjust my trading based on the existing situation.

Ethereum fees is now more than $8 that i have paid in the last few days. This is fraustrating for a single transaction. If this fees continue, Ethereum will lose its popularity and TRON, XLM will gain its place in the future.

thats fine if eth loose some users because in that way eth value will decline and its fees are also gonna get lowered while its also a plus point for the coins that you said but i dont know if its also possible for trx and xlm to have an expensive fees when their values are already high .

 maybe not ? because trx and xlm are known to have a less fees ever since they are created .

Already ETH lost its value nearly 30% which is the result of extra fees in transaction. Most investors are trying to avoid Ethereum network transaction or ERC20 token transaction. Hence they are using TRX, XLM transaction for low fees and quick result. In future, TRX and XLM fees may high but people can love to think at present.
The price of ETH collapsed has nothing to do with gas fees. This entire market is bleeding, even bitcoin has gone down below $ 10k today. Given what is showing, I think the market will continue to go down and the price of ETH is likely to fall below $ 300 again.
