The only way now is to wait for the transaction to be confirmed, it may take 1 or 2 days 😅
Or it may take longer than that.
If it is more than that, it means that the BTC network is very congested.
Difficulty adjustment right now isn't that much so if OP can simply put his TXID here, we can see if it's already confirmed or not. And depending on the fees on how low it is because it is also changing from time to time.
This is very, very torturous if we really need money or Bitcoin, maybe RBF can really help overcome problems like this.
That's true, so plan your transactions and pay what's being required and/or use viabtc's help as long as your transaction is suiting the requirement of it for being accelerated.
Does BRC-20 exacerbate Bitcoin's current network congestion?
Yes.
