Initiated trade, waiting for 1st confirmation before I can make usd payment.

The transaction fee used by them was only 10 sat/byte. It’s been a few hours with no confirmations.

Can I bump the fee somehow? Will this transaction fail?

The only way to bump it would be a child pays for parent, but it’s not very easy to do so I think it’s better to wait.

Now I see mempool.space and it’s under 5sat/byte so it should have been confirmed.

It confirmed shortly thereafter.
