Oh, I see that now. Thank you. I forgot to change my settings back. Do you know how long it can take?

can take as long as 3 days depending on your luck. the bitcoins will return to your wallet if the tx still doesn't get confirmed after 3 days.

though you can double spend the transaction after 24~ hours. but you'll have to import the private key of that address to a different wallet and create a new transaction from there.

Nothing prevent him from double spend them now, if he want to.

I thought it won't work because a most of the nodes still have the old transaction and will reject the new one as a double-spend transaction?
