Thanks for the response.

I was using 2.6.2 and now I'm on 2.6.4
I sent myself (different wallet address) 0.01 btc with Electrum's recommended tx fee (3.3k sat)
This has since gone through and been confirmed

When I checked this link when I wrote this post, I had low priority, now its at medium.. Things might resolve naturally?

Should I avoid opening Electrum for the time being? I can't help but want to check to see if matters have resolved.
