do you feel that ethereum is very slow now? only sending ethereum with gwei 11 and gas limit 21000, in the calculator at ether gastation takes 40 seconds. However, until now (2 hours) it has not been pending, and even my previous shipment has experienced the same thing (five days still pending)
do you think it's only for a moment or did I make a mistake?
I think you should cancel the first transaction (there is such a function in the metmask). And then use one of the gas tracking links, and set higher numbers of gvei.
A bunch of times I came across the fact that it was only necessary to put 22 instead of 11.
If you wanted to make it more faster you need to adjust your gas fees, if there's a lots of congestions those who set a much higher fees will be set first and those who use the regular one will need to wait for everything to be settled before it will be processed. You'll be able to verify and learned more about this as time goes, prioritizing each transactions will be verified according to it's gas fees that being applied.
