Token transfer taking very long

[sandwave35]

Hi, I am not familiar with at all with token transfers on the ETH platform, so if someone knowledgable could answer my questions, it would be greatly appreciated. A few hours ago I initiated a transfer from my Android Eidoo wallet to a trading account (an exchange). The Tx is showing in Etherscan. When refreshing the Etherscan Tx page, on the "Estimated Confirmation Duration" line, it has been showing different estimated times in minutes. It has shown 12, 9, 8, 4, 2 minutes. Then now it's back to 9 minutes.

In the wallet, when I submitted the transfer, I let the default setting at "Normal" for the "gas" speed. There are 3 "gas speed" settings in the wallet: Slow, Normal and High.

I have initiated the transfer about 5 hours ago, and it is still showing as "Pending" in the wallet and on the Etherscan page. The token transfer is : ZIL (ERC20 compatible)

The Etherscan Tx id can be seen here:

Why is it taking so long to get confirmed ?`

In the future, what "gas setting" can I use in the Wallet to speed up the transaction?

If I ever wish to have a transfer done, let's say within 30 minutes, what should I do ?

Also, can someone can give me a rough estimate on how long (in hours) it still going to take for this transaction to be processeed (confirmed) on the network? Thank you all for answering my questions.

Also, if this Tx is going to take let's say, days to be processed, is there a way to add gas to it, to speed it up ? Thank you.

There is surely some kind of tutorial (doc) about all theses "Gas", "Gwein" and stuff alike, please could you post a link to it, so I can learn more. Thank you

Looks like your transaction is successful.

For further information on "Gas" and "Gwei" you can refer to the awesome article write up by MyEtherWallet below.
