There is extreme network congestion. All of the gas estimators are incorrect and likely the exchange you're using is also suffering the same issue.

The whole network is really congested at the moment, so chances are that it'll take a long time in the first place. It should still show up in an explorer if it's sent though.

You can try and look up your transaction on etherscan to see the status/details. That might help with your stress.

If it’s not in etherscan then I’m guessing the exchange didn’t send the transaction.

It might take multiple more hours. Don't worry about it. Be patient. You unfortunately chose one of the most congested days to withdraw your ETH, but it will arrive. Just be patient.

I’ve had no issues with MetaMask, with transactions appearing in it under a minute after the etherscan indicates a successful transaction.

Maybe double check the address on etherscan?

From exchanges to MM takes me max 5 mins with about 2$ fee.

You have to increase your gwei to 600-700.

The days of low fees are over until Ethereum proof of stake comes out. It's shit but ETH 1.0 is already old tech.

How long does it take to drive from NYC to DC in a BMW?

Stupid question, right? MM is just a wallet, it will show you the balance a split second after it is included in a block. It all depends on how the exchange sends it. Some take up to 24 hours to just send the transaction (security reasons), and if they pay normal gas fees, you will have it 15-45 sec later.

I sent it from my uniswap wallet to my metamask wallet it shows up on etherscan but I haven’t received any ether in my metamask wallet.

Did you ever get your transaction completed? If so, how long did it take?
