26 sats per byte transaction, now 144 blocks away. Will it be hours or days?

EDIT2: SOLVED thanks to the great explanation of fellow bitcoiners

Hi everyone, I just send a portion of my BTC from my HW to an exchange so I can set a sell order ( I know stupid, but I need to get my initial investment out, in agreement with my SO). I set the transaction fees at medium (which would be 6 hours according to the UI and costs 26 sats per byte. I saw the estimated time running up from a few blocks to now 144. I know that transactions that are willing to pay more will be going before mine, but should I expect days now instead of hours? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: someone (or multiple people) have downvoted this topic. I would really like to know why, so I can avoid it in the future. I’d hate to cross any rules or whatever. For what it’s worth, I did try to find the answer in older topics, but couldn’t.
