Actually, everyone understands that when there's congestion, clicking "Confirm" doesn't mean the transaction is immediately recognized on the chain... A few days ago, I tried it as a guinea pig. For the same transfer, the wallet showed it was sent, but I kept an eye on that string of pending transactions in the mempool, watching it queue up like waiting in line to buy bubble tea, being jumped by more expensive transactions behind. The most frustrating part is: you think it's stuck, so you click again, but both transactions end up stuck in the mempool, with the last one getting confirmed first and the other becoming an "expired awkwardness." Basically, miners/validators pick the more profitable transactions first, and ordinary people can only choose between fee rates and patience. By the way, I recently saw some criticism of the "compound yield" staking method being a copycat scheme. I think it’s somewhat similar: the more you stack above, the more the underlying gets blocked, and the experience of those of us clicking buttons is the first to crash... Anyway, when there's congestion, I now try small amounts first, instead of going all-in with large sums right away, which saves a lot of mental stress.
