yesterday I sent 35,000 coins to exchange address, in wallet is it still in pending

is it normal?
how long does it takes to get coins?
not sure but a lot of small exchanges take forever to get into their wallet. I just tried to send a small amount 10k to the exchange about two hours ago and am still waiting...Looks like it may take a day or two i guess
I sent from wall_cli but it never processed i guess. I downloaded the GUI and after 6 hours of syncing my transfer didn't show on the GUI wallet. I resent another amount at 4:19 pm EST and will update when it finally arrives to destination.
Sent 50k at normal transaction fees. (split into 3 transactions)
5:30 still 0 confirmations
6:41 still 0 confirmations and not showing up on block explorer
9:09 pm still no confirmations
Decided to send another transaction at 5:48 to see if paying a higher tx fee would help. I sent 100k split into 4 transactions
6:43 still 0 confirmations and not showing up on block explorer
9:10 pm still 0 confirmations
