### What Does it Mean When a Transaction is Stuck?

A stuck transaction occurs when a transfer initiated through the Polygon Bridge fails to confirm or appears to hang in processing. This can happen due to several reasons, including:
- Insufficient gas fees on the Ethereum network
- High network congestion during peak usage
- Technical issues with wallet connectivity
- Incorrect transaction parameters, such as wrong network settings
