To pay .025 BTC still doesn’t offset the hash, im waiting for.
I’m waiting for the total amount of .0186 BTC, so in this case I would be losing $.

I don’t understand why the sender would be sending me unspent unconfirmed btc, that defeats the purpose of have a payment sent to me with high priority.

I guess the only solution is to wait till the effective fee rate gets to -17sat/b, as I doubt it will ever get purged from mempool.
