I've made a Bitcoin transaction, but it seems to be taking a very long time to process. I'm worried that it might be stuck. Is it possible for a bitcoin transaction to get stuck, and if so, what should I do about it?

When network fees suddenly spike, your transaction might not have enough gas to be processed in a timely manner.

As a result, your transaction may become stuck in a pending state, waiting for sufficient network fees to be paid.

To address this issue, you have the option of using the replace-by-fee (RBF) method.

Setting a custom fee that is too low can lead to unexpected consequences for your transaction.

RBF allows you to replace your stuck transaction with a new one that has a higher fee, thereby incentivizing miners to process it.
