Currently, Bitcoin Core uses an algorithm to monitor the network and see how long transactions take to confirm and then uses that to determine what fee is needed to get a transaction to confirm quickly. If it doesn't have sufficient information since it had just been started, it could be miscalculating.

Since syncing takes quite a long time, depending on the last sync upto half an hour, is that included in the fee determination or do I have to let it sync and _then_ let it determine the fee on top of that?

If you have the tx id, that might be helpful ;-)

I have but I don't want to create data points.
