458 USD fee on a 2k transaction

Hey guys! So I’m still ramping up on BTC, and on my latest purchase for 2k the transaction fee was 458 USD. I was shocked.

I wonder if there’s something I’m doing wrong. I used Simplex.com for the transaction.

Any recommendations to avoid such high fees in the future?

Thanks!
