When the load increases in a high gas price environment, transactions hang for a long time. At this time, it is possible to cancel an Ethereum payment. The confirmation is the Pending status where the transfer will be.
At this point, you can send 0 ETH to your own address by selecting the same Nonce value. At the same time, you should specify a gas price higher than the hovering payment. This will help to resolve the problem.
