Why is my transaction confirmation time taking so long?

Understanding common issues with BSC transactions

Most times your transactions should go through without a hitch. However, sometimes--particularly when the demand on the BSC network is high--your transactions may get stuck processing for quite a long time.

If it's already been a few minutes and your transaction is still shown to be in a pending state, you likely are trying to submit an application during times of high demand on the network. This usually means that you have not included enough of a gas fee in order for your transaction to be processed in a timely manner.

If you find yourself in this situation, your options are to either speed up your transaction by adding gas (that means you will pay more in order to push the transaction through) or trying to cancel your transaction.
