Another example? 021b71e00661049c1d5172c2913a0bcbaf5e47b4ef40d073e94530bb8fadccab
The user gets this error (wallet tries to set a lower fee that initial?) when the user tries to increase the fee in this case.
Another example also shown in 4168 The lowest minimum fee that day (6 days ago) was 8 sats/vB and the lowest average fee was also 8 sats/vB.

Increasing the fee via the wallet on the transaction above will lead to this error:
The user who sent this transaction with a fee of 14 sats/vB was unable to increase the fee due to an error.

Should we be providing three options for users after clicking increase fee for bitcoin transactions?
a. Increase fee with current inputs without changing the amount to the receiving address (default) "Returning output" is used to cover increased fee, if there is none this option is grey/non-selectable. b. Increase fee by adding funds, no changes to any of the outputs. C. Increase fee by lowering the send amount to cover the increased fee. (Examples above withdraw to an exchange... it is fine when there is a bit less if that means it goes through right away).
Let's go with:
Use additional funds on the wallet to cover any increase in the fee, this is expected though.
User reported 'Unable to increase fee' issue via support email, encountering a different error.
The user who sent this transaction with a fee of 4.66 sats/vB was unable to increase the fee enough to be relevant with the "leftover" 331 sats.
Currently, it is not possible to
Use additional funds on the wallet to cover any increase in the fee, this is expected though.
Some users may also be helped with the option to send with the same input but change the first output too. This transaction was emptying the wallet and sending to an Exchange. The user would have been happy to receive less on the exchange if it meant sending with a high enough fee to get it processed.
