Due to peak traffic this week, I had to switch to off-peak hours, usually after midnight my time. I transferred a small amount of ETH in less than eight minutes and paid probably a third of what it would have cost me during the day. Time really does matter more than many people admit.

I can say that on the Linea side, transaction peaks usually occur mid-day, so timing is more important than it seems. If you need a direct route, you can use the bridge ​https://defiway.com/bridges/bridge-eth-linea-ethereum​​​ It's worth noting that recently, the transaction fee on the Ethereum mainnet has become a more important factor than on the Linea network itself, so check both sides before transferring a certain amount.
