is it because of the btc fees / slow confirmations?

Do other cryptos withdraw work?

If so, maybe exchange to other crypto then use another exchanger to get the btc

As I said, there is no Cancel button. I cannot convert to other currency.

Just now I see this announcement at Bitfinex when going into the Withdrawing page:

Please be aware that withdrawals are currently backlogged. The current extraordinary demand for deposits and withdrawals exceeds what the wallets and staff can immediately process. Resources are being added to improve delays. In the meantime, withdrawals may take more than 24 hours to complete. Canceling pending withdrawals and resubmitting them will only cause more delays. Thank you for your patience.

This makes me nervous, maybe they do not have the Bitcoins. This could have happen because their Bitcoin liquidity pool got emptied the days before when Bitcoins prizes went parabolic and everyone bought Bitcoin.
