Wow, someone seems to be lucky here. Im always afraid of sending money/bitcoin with a low priority fee. I use the high fees, though its costly, but I do it to avoid loss. Ive experienced some 30 days a transaction with low fee, and it never got confirmed after 24 hours, and I was surprised when it continued till the next day without getting confirmed.
Hey OP did you use any accelerating services to push your tx to get confirmation ?
Even transactions with 5 satoshis/byte can go through in 24 hours or under a week once the network slows down. It is just that during high traffic times like these when many people are using Bitcoin you need to use high fees to get your transaction through quickly.
