Anyone else's instant withdrawal been pending for a LONG time? Mine is still unconfirmed after 6+ hours, and normally it's been very fast with freebitco.in (like less than 1 hour to get at least ONE confirmation with an instant withdrawal). Looking at the transaction on the blockchain, it looks like a really low fee was used, like 19-20 sat/Byte. Why is the instant withdrawal this time so much slower and seemingly such a low fee used as opposed to the other 95% of instant withdrawals I've done with freebitco.in in the past?

Can I do anything to speed it up? Feels like I have to wait many more hours, maybe even a day or more?

Thanks.

Better try to reach out support and tell them about this issue or here check if @TheQuin or @freebitco.in PR available then send them message surely they will try to solve your issue and you will able to have your instant withdrawal very quickly.

Hm...ok. I sent them a message. Thanks.

It wasn't a low fee when it was sent out but then after it was sent there was a long gap between blocks being solved. When that happens the mempool quickly gets filled with transactions with higher fees.

It's just part of using Bitcoin. However good fee estimation you use it isn't possible to predict what is going to happen to the mempool just after you send your transaction. Because we use one input and spend the change on the next transaction CPFP means the fees of all our queued transactions are averaged and when the mempool clears out a little bit they'll all get confirmed.
