If it takes too long, you should increase the gas to speed up instead of waiting.
Waiting for ETH transactions to be dropped out could take even days. I like ETH but when there are spikes in the network, you need to check and update the gas each time to able to make a transaction.

How long does an ETH transaction stay pending before it gets dropped?
Depending on the GAS you use, the higher the gas the faster your transaction is processedYou can see https://ethgasstation.info/ for a reference on how much gas you need to use
people ignore the problem so much that they have to wait for days

The other day I had the longest ETH transaction I've ever had in my life, it almost reaches to 1 day before it confirmed and success. It was the time when the GAS doesn't stay at its normal rate, it keeps rising every hour and when the new transaction has been made, they picked that first and leave my transaction to be mined next time. You only have this kind of problem when there are lots of users who currently send eth and most of the time this scenario would happen if there is some spike in the price of ETH.

its depends on how much gwei/gas you used.. and also if the blockchain is clogged then it will take a long time.. you can leave the transaction it will arrive in your wallet

It depends on the gas level you choose for that transaction. If you want a fast transfer, the fee can be up to $ 1 - $ 2. But if you want to trade about 5-10 minutes, the fee is about $ 0.15. so it is up to you, the Ethereum network can always meet your needs. Please be assured.

The length of time for Ethereum transaction is not fixed. The speed of the transaction depends on the set transaction gas fees. A higher transaction gas fees means a faster transaction speed. Setting it to moderate will yield a moderate transaction speed. May 20, 2020, 03:06:18 AM
The length of time depends on the value of the amount of gas that we click, if it is probable that the transaction process is fast if small it make saveral time to waith. This process can take longer if the internet network has an effect if it crashes again when you make transaction.

I think that eth transactions depends on the gas or gwei that we put. If we put a low gas fee, i think day would be considered because of the traffic of many transactions. And if you use a higher gas fee, i think it would just take a minutes.

You have to tell what percentage of the gas is determined if you reduce the standard transaction gas costs, the smaller the value of the gas installed, the longer the transaction will be confirmed. Confirmation will be processed immediately if the gas cost goes down with the fee of the gas installed.

A second to an hour I guess, it depends on the transaction fee, you want fast transfer? Then increase the transaction fee higher, if you want slow speed they reduce the fee, it's that easy, wallets like coinomi or trust wallet supports transaction fee manual configuration May 20, 2020, 02:01:02 AM

It won't take too long usually a few hours, your transaction may have been dropped now. You should try again with a more reasonable gas fee. May 20, 2020, 01:34:50 AM
If you dont' want to get stuck you should set Gas at fast level. It's cheap, a fast transaction costs only about $0.1 and your transaction will be executed within a minute, usually in just 20 seconds if you set Gas at fast level.

depends on how much fee is used in the transaction and don't forget to check the fee recommendation at https://ethgasstation.info/.
If your fee is bigger than ethgasstation recommendation, your transaction is more fast. It also depends on the opposite.

When Sending transaction On ETH network is best to be mindful of the gas your are using some platforms at time might use lower gas which will slow transaction down so just be aware of it and increase if necessary
Still depend if the network has really clogged or the traffics of transaction has piles up even with higher cost of gas would still result to delay. Same goes to other smart contract, but eth network still is the fastest as recorded with so many users using it. Others are more faster but their users are not comparable with eth, so we can visualize why sometime traders or users experienced a high percentage of delay also depends on the active miners of that network.

To avoid situations like this especially when it is very urgent you should try to increase your gas to send, I usually don't use the calculated gas especially when I need a quick transaction, a little more gas won't hurt you rather it will save you the headache for worrying your transaction is still pending for hours, just follow the guide to speed up transaction given.

I have never experienced a delayed or failed transaction, if the cost to send is too small it will usually be confirmed in a long time and it does not fail, maybe you can just wait a few days and always check your transaction

It usually takes under one minute for me but it also depends on how much gas and gwei you are using for the transaction, if you are using low values then the transaction can take more time for faster transactions use recommended gas and gwei settings.
I have seen 24 hours pending time. Didn't know that eth network was badly conjested and my gas was low so it took miners hours to process it. Since then I always check the ethgasstation.info before proceeding
If your transaction didn't get priority by the block and then when there was a new transaction that has been putting more fees than your transaction, the block will actually confirmed the new tx rather than your old tx.

You may want to add some gas and speed up the transactions if you use metamask you can see the expected time by the fee you chose for a transaction.
