It's a pain, but the only option is to wait. Consolidating multiple small inputs have been impossible impractical since October and looms to remain so for sometime more. It's ridiculous the amount of fees paid on regular transactions, much less one with lots of inputs.

If you're in a hurry, try using a transaction accelerator and a lower fee (above the minimum for the mempool now).

Wait… and quit using btc because if you keep using btc at the moment you will be sitting on a bigger problem than you previously had. Every incoming btc tx on your wallet will increase the consolidation price. It is already bad when you have 10 unconsolidated inputs and imagine what will happen when you have 100 or more.

There was another guy on another thread who paid 300+ sats/b but still waiting in the queue for hours because he had 500 unconsolidated inputs.
