I sent some Ether using Ethereum but the transaction is still pending. I'm wondering how long it can stay in this state and whether there's a time limit for a transaction to be confirmed or rejected. How long can an ETH transaction stay pending?

One approach is to resubmit the identical transaction but attach a higher fee.

This increased fee can incentivize miners to prioritize your transaction, speeding up confirmation.
