Cannot create a BAT account

Cannot even perform the creation of BAT account on my brave wallet to receive the rewards. I have enough SOL to perform the transaction required to create the account but it just keeps showing some stupid error. Why do I need more SOL than required for the transaction (even though I have more than enough)?

Hello! Sorry for the trouble. This is a known issue and we’re working to resolve. You should only need $.80- $1.00 in the account for the transaction to go through. Thank you!

But why even that much if the required amount is less than 0.1$?

Our estimate for gas is incorrect and working to resolve. The transaction only costs around $.25, but you’ll need around $1 until we get it fully fixed. Thanks!
