The best way to do before sending an ETH or making any ethereum transaction is to check first the suggestion or recommended transaction fee, you can check it here: https://ethgasstation.info/
I also don't understand what OP said by the term dropped, does it mean to be sent or to become invalid/cancelled?

How long does an ETH transaction stay pending before it gets dropped?
If it does not fail and it is still processing, it will continue to be on pending until the network reduces the transaction fee.
Since you knew you were in haste to get your transaction executed, you should not have used a lower gas fee. The network usually suggests the gwei to be used and most times, it also suggests the gas limit. You can decide to use the one in the middle, in order not to wait too long.

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

Your transaction will stay in ETH's mempool as long as a node is broadcasting it.
So no one can accurately tells when it will be drop, obviously, if you pay low gas fee it might get stuck a week or more before it gets drop by the mempool. Maybe this medium article can also help.

It can take a couple of hours, depending on the network congestions for the particular day, always you ensure you check you gas requirement each time before you initiate a transaction, I personally use slightly above recommended value just to get some preference when the condition changes/

It'll stay pending until it gets dropped from the mempool, after which the balance will be returned to your originating wallet.
How long this will take is anybody's guess, but anywhere from a few days to a month should be accurate. It really depends on the current network load and the number of transactions currently in the mempool.

Its depending in how much gas that you're using, before you send ethereum or other erc20 token, go check for gas first at https://ethgasstation.info there are visible information for safe/minimum gas and fastest gas. Its can be changed anytime. May it can be help you.

How long does an ETH transaction stay pending before it gets dropped?
I had a lot of stuck eth transactions with etherdelta and forkdelta. Mainly because of setting fees at minimum possible or network troubles. Usually, it takes few hours to get dropped, sometimes it got confirmed. But i didn't try to send pending eth. Something like cpfp with bitcoin, but i don't think it works.

It should be a few hours, just leave it alone and it will be confirmed automatically but that also depends on the traffic on the blockchain too. Sometimes i tried to create a new tx to the same address with higher fees to push my old tx that used very small fees that didn't meet the standard and that may push your old tx to the block priority May 19, 2020, 02:17:52 PM

Yes usually for almost even for bitcoin too. Etheruem needs gas for its transaction, so where it is not enough as you want to manage your fees, it also delays you. Meanwhile, also be sure you are sending to etheruem wallet too.

How much time has gone by? If it is long you can do this as mentioned here: https://kb.myetherwallet.com/en/transactions/checking-or-replacing-a-tx-after-sending/
Read all the points carefully before proceeding with this since it is matter of funds and I am also not confident since I also haven't tried this.
