I hope that it will clear out soon Smiley And I do hope you're right. Its crazy that every time it get close the fees goes up
The bombardment of Inscriptions continues:

To give you an idea, considering that your sender paid 13 sat/vB for the transaction, the current block values are sitting between 48 - 469 sat/vB, and in the image you see that most of the block is composed by inscriptions whose fees are responsible to cause such a spike in fee value within the mempool.
If you zoom out of Johoe's Bitcoin mempool size[1] and select 1 week period, you'll see that the jump in fees started around 8th of April (~03:00 PM), which matches around with the time that you started having trouble getting confirmation of your transaction. A fee of 13 sat/vB around that time would be okay, but the bombardment of inscriptions isn't something that one can guess sadly.
