Will my transaction never be confirmed?

[Seyffertt]

I sent the amount with a fee of 0.0003, I always sent with this fee and never had problems. But now I have seen that the size of the transaction is 5,692 bytes. And the fee was very low. I use the Electrum wallet, but when I try to increase the fee it appears this error message "can not bump fee: could not find suitable outputs "


Any help ? Why does not my Electrum wallet allow me to increase the fee???

You can do a manual cpfp transaction. See here:

To calculate an appropriate fee see the questions at the bottom on this site: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Also to prevent issues like these in future stop setting fees manually. Follow the first two steps here and let electrum set fees dynamically based on market conditions:
