Hello, please try using a link. If you still can’t cancel it, I think sending a small amount of ETH to the address where the transaction is stuck might help cancel it—for example $1 or less worth of ETH or BNB sent to the address.

If the problem still continues, please be patient. With lower BNB network fees, your transaction will automatically be reattempted.

If your transaction has been pending for over an hour and you can’t cancel it, it’s often a sign that it’s still waiting to be confirmed by the network. A good first step is to check the transaction status using its transaction ID (TXID) to see whether it’s still pending or has already been dropped. The next steps depend on the network and wallet you’re using, so sharing those details can help narrow down the cause and determine the best solution.

Thank you for trying to help. However, I don’t think sharing those details is a good idea for security reasons. That said, it’s possible that the transactions will eventually go through once the network reaches the GWEI they were set for.

What error are you seeing? Can you please provide the more details?
