Why?

jcchevalier-ledger commented 3 weeks ago

I just remember I created this issue 😅. A transaction with a gas limit higher than block gas cap cannot be mined since it can use more gas than available in one block. Geth handles this by refusing this transaction (with the error msg {"code":-32000,"message":"exceeds block gas limit"}), and I think it's safer and less confusing than accepting it, bcs the transaction will stay stuck anyway.
