Does a transaction with a low fee ever get kicked out of the/a mempool?

Yes. Most people’s mempools are default configured to 300mb max, so if your fee places you outside of that limit you will be pruned.

Most also prune transactions which haven’t been confirmed in two weeks.

Cool. Thanks!

The wizards really screwed me with their ordinals 😂

You can normally do a RBF transaction or a CPFP to get it bumped up sooner

Learning every day

Just check for "purging" on mempool.space or timechaincalendar.com to know the threshold
