Unconfirmed Transaction - too little mining fee

[esmkt]

I sent my BTC to an address using blockchain.info wallet 8 hours ago.
Until now, transaction remains unconfirmed.

I sent the BTC by scanning a barcode using blockchain.info so I did not manually input anything.

I also used "Regular" fee which again was automatically placed by their system.

This is the transaction:
x

As you can see, it seems to have too little transaction fee hence why it is still unconfirmed until now.

Again, the details (including mining fee) were all placed there by their system so it seems that this is an error on their end.

Has anyone experienced this before with Blockchain.info wallet?

Is there a set time limit wherein this transaction will be cancelled and my BTC be returned to my account?

Also, has anyone tried the likes of https://www.bitcoinaccelerator.net/ and does it really work and not a scam?

Forget paid transaction accelerators. Most are fake (like the one you linked) and the ones that are legit are too much expensive.

5 sat/byte is extremally low for a fee. You probably can't do anything other than wait for a confirmation.

For now, I submitted your transaction in the AntPool's transaction accelerator to (maybe) help you.

I experienced it a few times I always place a specific fee to avoid transactions getting stucked and rarely use their regular fee.

There is no time limit for this but a bitcoin transaction can get rejected if it doesn't confirm after a few days or more. If you don't want this to happen you need to push your transaction.

Use this website as a guide next time your making a bitcoin transaction.

thank you for all the help.

what happened when your transaction gets rejection?

If I would have to wait for more than 2 days then I would prefer for my BTC to be sent back to my blockchain.info wallet.

You will be able to spend your coins again.

You can't choose when your transaction will be dropped from the mempool. Which means that your transaction may stay stuck for some time if it doesn't get confirmed soon.

Some wallets will even rebroadcast your transaction until it gets confirmed, making it hard to spend your coins to another address or with a higher fee.

I've read somewhere about double spending.
Any idea if this is possible with blockchain wallet?

Their help section is rather unhelpful and their support unsupportive!
