You are paying 80sat/byte. Not a small fee, still much smaller than the recommended.
The interesting part is https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx recommends 150 sat/byte and https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ recommends 220.

The mempool is bigger and bigger. You need much higher fees if you are in a hurry.

I have used https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ in the past and it worked well.

Now a message shows -  "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later."  It has been showing for past couple of days.

More and more have heard of this, more and more are using it and the limit is filled faster.
