Gas settings when sending a tx

Question

I currently have several txs stuck on Pending even after passing them 100 gwei of gasPrice while current baseFee is 0.000001086 gwei (on Goerli and using ethers.js).

const ops = {
    gasLimit: ethers.BigNumber.from('30000000'),
    gasPrice: ethers.BigNumber.from('100134698068') 
};

I've been re-sending them with the nonce of the stuck tx with even higher and higher gasPrice, but they don't get included.

What settings can I add so they get validated asap?

Thanks!

SOLUTION

I was using a greater nonce than the stuck tx (by 1).

When using ethers.provider.getTransactionCount(addr, 'pending') to get the nonce of the last stuck tx, be sure to use the result from that call and not one nonce higher (my error).

You can fetch the Gas Price from the Blockchain instead of hardCoding it .

const gasPrice = ethers.utils.formatUnits(await provider.getGasPrice(), 'gwei')
const options = {gasLimit: 3000000, gasPrice: ethers.utils.parseUnits(gasPrice, 'gwei')}
