Thanks for detailed response. Now the size for my fee rate is 24 MB. Is there a chance it would be confirmed this weekend?
It has decreased to about 15MB right now. If the mempool continues to clear at this rate [1], your transaction has a fairly decent chance of confirming within a few days. That is, unless the price of Bitcoin changes drastically and more people starts to sell again.
