I tried to use this accelerator but it said your transaction fee was too low:
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Only transactions with minimum of 0.0001BTC/KB (10 sat/byte) included fee are eligible in viabtc. Sadly Op's transaction didn't meet that as it's just 5 sat/byte

yes sadly this is not the first time, last time he recommended me to use 80$ !!! fee for 500$ transactions, i manually did 5$ and it got confirmed in 2 hours...

this blockchain fee is broken for sure.

how long shall it take for it to bounce to my wallet?

Miner fees are determined through the size of the transaction and the current network condition so the total amount you're sending has nothing to do with it. Most probably its because the network is stabilized and not overloaded with unconfirmed transactions.

And yes, Never trust blockchain.info's fee estimation as it is too far from accurate. Next time use these guides: bitcoinfees.earn.com l btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

The network is getting busy and busier and if this continues it might get stuck for days.

I'm not sure if they are still doing this but it wouldn't hurt to try

Ask a miner for help

Some mining pools and miners offer services to allow you to prioritize your transaction in their mempool so that it is chosen sooner for inclusion in a block. You can contact the users Quickseller and macbook-air. These two users have access to F2Pool's transaction selector and they can help you with confirming your stuck transaction.

The chances are slim but I tried quequeing your transaction on Antpool
