Yes, we've just increased yesterday to always have Bisq use "high" priority fee estimate. The problem is that it's impossible to do fee estimation accurately because of mining variance and random people suddenly broadcasting huge amounts of transactions, so if you use "medium" priority fee your TX can easily get buried and trade can get delayed for hours or days. This is simply the consequence of Bisq trades being on-chain Bitcoin transactions and the only solution is to move to a Layer 2 Network like Liquid or Lightning.
