Providing gasLimit, but still get "transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit"

[gigamesh]

getting that message from this. any ideas what's going on?

await artistContract.estimateGas.initialize(...dummyArgsForArtistInit, { gasLimit: 300_000 });

That shouldn’t happen. Can you provide the contract address, abi, network, etc. to reproduce this?

Oh! Just realized you are calling estimateGas. That is basically saying your transaction will fail, as best the node can compute. Or use more than the specified gasLimit.
