That typically only happens when you're using a wallet with a fixed fee. Fees need to be dynamically adjusted according to network conditions. Bitcoin Core does this, as do a few other wallets.
No i did not put a "lower" fee. The thing is BTC itself is bloated as fuck thats the issue, i was always supporting "core" but if any other team can now say they will fix it right away i would support them as this is just unacceptable.
Do you maybe put lower than recommended transaction fees? If thats the case its normal your transaction will take ages to confirm. Just use a wallet like Electrum which automatically choose the recommended fee for you so max you wait 1 hour when the network is superbusy otherwise 10 minutes is enough for 1 confirmation. We all need that 1 confirmation so we can have those BTC spendable right away.
Yes, low network fees transaction takes longer than normal transactions. That might be a reason. I usually get my transactions funded within 30 minutes. Never had any problem like yours.
But don't worry, even if it takes time, it will eventually be cleared. Only it will take longer time. That's it!

It seems like it's not a block confirmation taking long but not enough fee it's probably because all the people who place there transaction had higher fee than you so obviously they will take the ones with higher fees? I only had that happen to me once and it was because I had a low fee.
It really is getting ridiculous. When sending any meaningful amounts of BTC the TX's get ignored for hours, it has gotten so bad that at this point i would take any damn solution, call it Bip 9000 and have NSA put backdoors in it if you want but this god damn snail pace coin confirming needs to stop.
Someone make a service to push TX through, i would happily pay for it.
