The Bitcoin network did not produce a block for nearly an hour on November 7 at the block height of 815,688.
Crypto reporter Wu Blockchain shared that block production was stopped for about an hour from 16:47 to 17:56 (UTC+8).
The data from Blockchain Explorer displays that block 815,689 took nearly 43 minutes, while the next block at 815,690 took over 1 hour and 6 minutes. The average block time on the Bitcoin network is approximately 10 minutes.
Wu Blockchain shared that this is not the first time there has been a delay in block production. In May 2023, the Bitcoin network took a gap of an hour to produce a new block twice, while it did the same in 2021.
The network also took approximately 48 minutes to produce block 815,706, just a couple of hours after the consecutive delay in the above-mentioned block height.
