Bitcoin fee check, Nov 4, 19:26 UTC, straight from mempool.space's live API:
Next block: 2 sat/vB. Within half an hour or an hour: 1 sat/vB.
Waiting in the mempool: about 52,400 transactions, roughly 12.5 MvB.
Block height 974,569.
Difficulty: 41.7% through this period, current estimate is a 2.7% drop in about 1,175 blocks (that estimate moves as blocks come in).
If you've been putting off a UTXO consolidation or a channel open until fees were low, 1 sat/vB with a day of patience is about as cheap as it gets. Fees change fast, so look at the live page right before you send.
