you paid 27 sats/vbyte

It may confirm during the weekend. Since the Ordinal spammers seem to be on a break, mempool is slowly going down in fees (with a current pile of 260,000 transactions and 1.7 GB of data waiting).

I doubt the weekends are good for transactions to get confirmed as they have not been when spammed. I did a transaction last week for 31sats/vB, which took about 24 hours to confirm. In the meantime, I had to spend another 31 sats/vB to RBF as the miners ignored the transaction. That is what I felt as my input was correct per mempool suggestion on my Electrum wallet. Bitcoin is known to be volatile whereas now transaction fees have become more volatile than Bitcoin itself because of Ordinals.

It is no longer a weekend situation as it used to be with spam on the main chain. It used to be a few months back when the Bitcoin network did not have spam within the blockchain. The problem will keep on increasing unless the developers come up with a solution. Whereas they are busy contemplating whether they would need spammers or increase the block size.
