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.

I don’t think difficulty adjustment has much of a thing to do about bitcoin congestion. Rather it is to adjust the average time it is expected to get a block confirmed to the default time of 10 minutes. This changes is caused by either a higher hashrate or a lower one. This adjustment helps to keep in check some bitcoin protocols like the halving period which happens every four years. The only thing that actually reduces the congestion on the mempool is when lesser transactions are made.

Also it is not just advisable to OP to just show his TXID everywhere as it can affect its privacy rather he can simply use the block explorer himself to check the status of the transaction

That's just if he doesn't know how to accelerate it and someone can do it for him but then, I don't disagree with you because you're right that his privacy will be defeated if he shared it to us. I don't have any bad intention with that because we usually see newbies don't know how to accelerate their transactions and aren't aware that they've paid so low fee.

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.

With this tip, I recommend using ViaBTC's paid service. I tried using their free service once and it takes an awful lot of time to have one free chance to accelerate your transaction.

I've used it for many instances and it did really helped me the most. But as the fees are adjusting again and they're increasing as per checking it, the free acceleration is always out and that's why if someone like OP or anyone out there wants to use the free one, you'll need to be faster than anyone else before it refreshes to 00:00 time.

There is Binance's transaction accelerator, too, though they use flat fees most of the time and it's a lot more expensive to use than ViaBTC's service. There used to be tons of free transaction accelerator services out there, but apparently most have disappeared or become paid once the problem with high transaction fees began to linger bitcoin recently.

I've used Binance accelerator too and it did helped me as well with my so loooong stucked transaction. It is more expensive but I'd say that it's worth the buck for the delay that it has caused me.
