What can I do?
$20 fee and it takes this long. So dumb.

Really need this payment to my other wallet asap. Thanks to anyone who can help Smiley

the reason it's taking so long is that it's a large transaction that used 8 inputs and paid only 103 satoshis/byte. due to high demand, urgent transactions carry a fee of nearly 800 satoshis/byte. that's 8x what you paid. this is a "fee market" where other people are pricing you out.

congestion seems to be improving a bit. your fee rate is expected to receive confirmation within 62 blocks or 720 minutes, according to earn.com. but keep in mind that a rush of new transactions could increase the backlog again and leave you waiting for days again.

in the meantime, you can try submitting the transaction here: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
