If you have sent a Bitcoin transaction with low fees and it has not yet been confirmed, you have a few options to try and get it confirmed faster:

    Use child-pays-for-parent (CPFP): This involves spending the unconfirmed transaction by sending a new transaction with higher fees that pays for both the new transaction and the unconfirmed one. This can incentivize miners to include both transactions in a block to earn the higher fees.

    Replace by fee (RBF): If your wallet supports RBF, you can replace the unconfirmed transaction with a new transaction that has higher fees. This will make the original transaction invalid, and the new transaction will replace it.

    Wait for the mempool to clear: If the mempool is congested, you may need to wait for some time for the transaction to be confirmed. Once the mempool clears, your transaction may be included in a block.

It's important to note that these options may not be available in all cases, and the success of each method can depend on various factors such as network congestion and miner behavior.
