Note that the custom fee you choose is the maximum fee that you might pay. In many cases, the gas for your transaction will cost less than the fee chosen, and any extra ETH will be returned to your wallet.

What should I do if my Ethereum or ERC20 transaction is stuck?

If you set your custom transaction fee too low, your transaction might take a long time to confirm or get stuck pending.

Don't worry! Exodus has a feature to accelerate stuck transactions.

In order to accelerate your pending transaction, it needs to have been sent with RBF enabled (custom fees turned on). If the transaction was sent while custom fees were disabled, you won't be able to accelerate it. 

You'll need some ETH in your wallet to pay the extra transaction fee. Keep in mind that accelerating a transaction can be more expensive than a regular transaction fee.
