Can a User Set the Gas Limit Too High?

Yes, a user can set the gas limit higher than necessary, but this does not increase the cost of a successful transaction. Only the gas actually consumed is paid for.

However, setting it excessively high might unnecessarily increase the required 'Maximum Fee Per Gas' reserve in the user's wallet, potentially locking up funds temporarily.
