how long should it take usually?

all my eth transactions are taking days and then not completing.

i didnt realise the tx price is related to gas limit (so set one at a million earlier!) 65$ haha, lucky it was free money from eth's rise

but 10 hrs later still nothing

i thought the higher the limit the quicker it goes?

Up to a certain point it seems. Look on this website: https://ethgasstation.info/ If you increase the gas price eventually the 95% time does not go down much.

I think you can compare it to a trip on boat. You can pay extra to skip to the front of the line so there is a higher chance you get on board the next boat, but the boat does not move faster the more you pay. And now the line is so long and a lot of people have already boarded, but the port can't handle the amount of boats. The boats are stuck. And you can't get on the stuck boats anymore no matter what you pay, you have to wait for the next several boats.
