It literally could be anything at this point but most of the time Its the low transaction fees that result in not having your transaction being confirmed within the first 20-30 minutes , share your TXID .

It looks like this transaction has already confirmed, but it seems that the reason this transaction took awhile to confirm was indeed fee based. The fee for this transaction was a bit low for when the network is heavily congested.

For example, at the current time, the recommended fee for a fast confirm is about 120 satoshis/byte . This would equal a fee of 0.00027 for this transaction, so your fee was a bit under the recommended fee.

Once you start using Electrum, I highly recommend enabling the Dynamic Fees feature in Preferences which can better estimate appropriate fees and gives you a slider to control how fast you want the transaction to confirm.
