I've seen older posts on this and my comment was deleted. My question is, isnt there a limit? Everyone seems to have a different answer but I am wondering if a transaction can be stuck in limbo forever?
I know of one which is stuck for 16 days so far and counting, till now I have not seen an older one but wondered if there are others out there?
With the recent surge in bitcoin activity I am wondering if this has now become a possibility. Are there any miners who can clarify on this.

You just need to put a higher fee so that your transaction will be prioritize it it will be confirmed fast. If you will put a much lower fee then the opposite will happen, it would take a very long time for the transaction to be confirmed. It could take 15 days or more for a low fee transaction to be completed.
