If this is anything to go by, I haven't witnessed any of such in recent times and even when I carried out a transaction with a ridiculous fee, it confirmed in due time which means with the right fee, in a matter of minutes to few hours, you should get your payment.

However, due to the recent fork and the ongoing technicalities attached with it, it could lead to it but this has not been confirmed as several wallet and service providers didn't release any statement to that effect that it could cause any disruption in their blockchain network as such. But you need to also be weary of individuals who would want to use the opportunity to give them more room for scam purpose.
