Hey, I've sent several dozen transactions with the Electrum wallet and never had this happen before. It's been approximately 15 hours and still is unconfirmed. How do I get my coins out of limbo, or do I just have to wait/how long do I have to wait? Apparently the auto-fees I had on weren't high enough I suppose. Anyway I can change it retroactively?

Indeed, you added 50 sat/byte. That's way to low.
You can try to prioritise the transaction using the viabtc txaccelerator: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ .

A different problem with this tx is that it seems to contain dust:

In the future, always enable opt-in RBF, it's an easy way to bump your fee (in essence, create a "clean" double spend of your unspent outputs in a new transaction that leaves ahigher fee).

Other options might be to do a CPFP or actually double spending the unspent outputs manually (altough such transactions usually don't propagate very well)
