I've made a Bitcoin transaction a few days ago, but it still shows as pending. I'm wondering if it's normal for a Bitcoin transaction to be pending for several days or if there might be an issue with the transaction.

When a user pays a lower fee for a transaction, Bitcoin's system identifies this as a signal that the transaction might not be as urgent.

In some cases, Bitcoin transactions with low fees can remain pending for days, as they are continually outpaced by transactions with higher fees.
