[Bug] transactions gets stuck in "pending" and are not retried

[felixbrucker]

What happened?

Prerequisites

• 1.3.x wallet (1.3.0 or 1.3.1)
• Mempool is full

How to reproduce

• Send a transaction, preferrably a multi out which wont be included due to the full mempool straight away
  • Might need to repeat the step above a few times to get a stuck transaction

What happens

When a transaction is stuck, it will show its state as "Pending" via chia wallet get_transaction. The tx will never be included in the mempool and thus never confirm.

Current workaround

Restarting the wallet service (chia start -r wallet) sometimes results in the tx transitioning to "In mempool" state and confirm within a minute. In the past few weeks the amount of wallet service restarts required to get a stuck transaction "unstuck" this way was 1-7.

Here is another instance of this happening in which restarting chia solved the problem https://www.reddit.com/r/chia/comments/tnp1v4/24_hours_pending_transaction_dust_storm/

I have a similar problem. Accepted an offer and forgot to add a fee. After 12h pending I canceled it. 2 days later I have still peding balance of a CH21 token (-1) and XCH (+0.25). The offer is listed as "canceled".

Edit: 11h later. still pending, even after two restarts (current mempool 56).

Something new on this topic? It is still pending and I can't access my CH21 token.^^

Annoying. Why does nobody write "delete unconfirmed transactions" (which is hidden in that 3dots menu). And why is there no info in the UI what to do and what problems it can cause If someone deletes the unconfirmed transactions? It makes no sense that it stays unconfirmed for days. And why is there no standard fee. Or better like in my Ethereum Wallet where I can choose from three or so options? Not even a current USD price is shown. This software is very alpha and absolute not ready for market.
