### Fee Averaging
[New in: rippled 0.33.0][]
If a sending address has one or more transactions queued, that sender can "push" the existing queued transactions into the open ledger by submitting a new transaction with a high enough transaction cost to pay for all of them. Specifically, the new transaction must increase the total transaction cost of the queued transactions from the same sending address, including the new transaction, to cover the [open ledger cost](transaction-cost.html#open-ledger-cost) of each transaction as it gets added to the ledger. The total must include the increased open ledger cost for each new transaction. The transactions must still follow the other [queuing restrictions](#queuing-restrictions) and the sending address must have enough XRP to pay the transaction costs of all the queued transactions.
If a sending address has one or more transactions queued, that sender can "push" the existing queued transactions into the open ledger by submitting a new transaction with a high enough transaction cost to pay for all of them. Specifically, the new transaction must pay a high enough transaction cost to cover the [open ledger cost](transaction-cost.html#open-ledger-cost) of itself and each other transaction from the same sender before it in the queue. (Keep in mind that the open ledger cost increases exponentially each time a transaction pays it.) The transactions must still follow the other [queuing restrictions](#queuing-restrictions) and the sending address must have enough XRP to pay the transaction costs of all the queued transactions.
This feature helps you work around a particular situation. If you submitted one or more transactions with a low cost, which got queued, you cannot send new transactions from the same address unless you do one of the following:
This feature helps you work around a particular situation. If you submitted one or more transactions with a low cost that were queued, you cannot send new transactions from the same address unless you do one of the following:
* Wait for the queued transactions to be included in a validated ledger, _or_
* Wait for the queued transactions to be permanently invalidated if the transactions have the [`LastLedgerSequence` field](reliable-transaction-submission.html#lastledgersequence) set, _or_
* [Cancel the queued transactions](cancel-or-skip-a-transaction.html) by submitting a new transaction with the same sequence number.
* [Cancel the queued transactions](cancel-or-skip-a-transaction.html) by submitting a new transaction with the same sequence number and a higher transaction cost.
If none of the above occur, transactions can stay in the queue for a theoretically unlimited amount of time, while other senders can "cut in line" by submitting transactions with higher transaction costs. Since signed transactions are immutable, you cannot increase the transaction cost of the queued transactions to increase their priority. If you do not want to invalidate the previously submitted transactions, fee averaging provides a workaround. If you increase the transaction cost of your new transaction to compensate, you can ensure the queued transactions are included in an open ledger right away.
