High t-ratio(0) for WTP estimates

I have estimated two mixed logit models in WTP space. In the first model, beta_cost is fixed while all other parameters are specified as random with normal distributions. The second model is identical to the first except that beta_cost takes on a negative exponential distribution. WTP estimates are nearly identical but the t-ratios for WTP estimates in the second model are very high, ranging from 50 to 350. Both models seem to have converged properly with cc<1. Should I be worried about these high t-ratios (very small standard errors)? Is so, what could be causing the second model to behave this way?

Hi, could you share your model specification? It is difficult to diagnose potential problems without seeing the code.

Thank you
