You must have been moving over $5000. 1% of 5000 is still $50. The minimum fee for me yesterday was 0.004btc (about $55), the suggested fee was 0.008btc (about $112), and the priority fee was prohibitively high. My hd wallet had 3 inputs though which increases the fee. When I sent with the minimum fee, it stayed unconfirmed for a little over a day before it flat fell off the network. When I resent it with the suggested fee ($112), it stayed unconfirmed for several hours until the early morning when it started getting confirmations finally.
