Description

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
This is kinda weird. I have been using metamask to send ETH without issues over the last year. However, today I wanted to send some Rinkeby ETH to another address and then I noticed that the transaction fee section keeps loading indefinitely, and with this happening the transaction cannot be successful. I thought it was my network. Every other website is opening fast and normal. I even restarted the browser, it's the same.

What could be the issue, please?

Attached is a screenshot.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
1. Go to the metamask icon on the browser
2. Try to transfer ETH from an address to another address

**Expected behaviour**
It should show the transaction fee to send ETH to another wallet address so that the transaction would be successful.

- MetaMask Version [7.7.0.1]

Research direction

Start by reproducing an ETH transfer in Chrome with MetaMask 7.7.0.1 and investigate the transaction fee loading state when the gas API is unavailable. Done means the advanced gas controls are available in that failure case and the user can continue with the transaction.
