I want to set my custom gas and gas Price in sendTransaction method.Currently I set it but when i send the transaction gas fee is showing 0.21 ETH in metamask. How can I solve this?

web3.eth.sendTransaction({
   from: currentAccount,
   to: toAddress,
   value: web3.toWei(value, 'ether'),
   gasPrice: web3.toWei("0.00001" , 'ether'),
   gasLimit: '21000',
   chainId: '0x1'
}

Above is my code. How can I solve it?

Gas fee = gasLimit * gasPrice + value.

In your case, it is 21000 * 0.00001 + value.

The gas fee that metamask shows you implies that 21000 * 0.00001 + value == 0.21.

This implies that value == 0 (i.e., you are not sending any ether in the transaction).

Subsequently, the gas fee turns out as 21000 * 0.00001 + 0 == 0.21.

So there is no contradiction between what you set and what metamask shows you.
