Looks like miners are up to their old tricks, sending transactions with supper high fees to get wallets to recommend fees higher than what's really needed.
This transaction has a fee what was 34 TIMES what was needed to get into the same block.
NEVER let your wallet pick the fee for you. Use a tool like mempool.space to pick your own fee.
