The cost of transactions is not directly related to hashrate in the way you imply.

Changes in hash rate (volatility) are linked to transaction cost for reasons I explained in detail in a reply to the other person who said the same thing.

Hash rates dropping suddenly means transaction throughput drops suddenly, which makes transaction costs go up. That is the dynamic and that is exactly what happened.
