FAQ Section
Q1: How long should I wait for a stuck transaction?
A: Most networks will drop unconfirmed transactions after 24-48 hours. You can resend with higher fees after this period.
Q2: Can I cancel a pending transfer?
A: Only possible with some blockchains using transaction replacement features. Ethereum requires "speed up" options.
Q3: Why does my transaction show as complete but funds aren't received?
A: This usually indicates address errors. Unfortunately, these transactions are irreversible - triple-check addresses before sending.
Q4: Are there transfer limits I should know about?
A: Both OKX Wallet and exchanges may impose daily limits. Check under "Account Security" settings.
Q5: How can I prevent future transfer issues?
A: Bookmark our transaction status checker for real-time network updates and fee recommendations.
Proactive Prevention Measures
- Test Transfers: Always send small amounts first
