No. MetaMask attracts your attention to some issues this way.

Ensure you have enough native tokens of the network to pay the gas fee. For example, BNB for BNB Smart Chain.

Pay attention to the MetaMask notes when it shows you the gas fee estimate. If you see an orange note Unknown processing time, there is a high chance that your transaction will not succeed. Try again later or click the Website suggested link and select Aggressive to increase the gas fee.
