Stuck transaction with enough fee rate

Question

I've sent a Bitcoin transaction using the Bitcoin Core client and later realized the fee was too low (Fee 0.00005814 BTC ~ $1.69 USD)

So I've added some balance to the same wallet and increased the fee for the transaction using the bumpfee command. (Fee 0.00030990 BTC ~ $9 USD)

But it's still unconfirmed after 18 hours. Am I doing something wrong here? Is this fee still too low?

Would it be interesting to remove low amount inputs from the transaction so it requires a lower fee?

Only one of the inputs has a relatively large amount of Bitcoins.

UPDATE: After waiting 6 days the transaction was finally confirmed.

Answer 1

Your replacement transaction pays 30 sat/vB, but the minimum fee rate to get into a block has been over 40 sat/vB for a whole day now (which is quite rare). I recommend checking mempool.space to find out the current fees. You can bump the transaction again or wait longer, though exactly how much longer that will be is difficult to predict.
