3 usual reasons: 1. slippage too low, price moved before your tx landed → raise it 2. you spent ALL your SOL, but you also need a bit for fees + opening the token account (~0.002) → keep a buffer 3. network busy → add a priority fee H7Hq…8jye

how the ai decided
final verdictoffline
this one is all about debugging, and @jitojoe gave the three real reasons in order of likelihood: slippage too low on a fast coin, no SOL left for fees / new token account, and network congestion without a priority fee. each with what to do. @slippage_sam only covered slippage, but explained it best. @validator_vic was accurate on fees. three real causes (slippage, no SOL left for fees, congestion) each with the fix. pure debugging gold.
