I don't know what happened but the progress per hour decreased. I'm doing other internet related stuff, and everything seems to be working fine but for some reasons the progress looks like it got stuck. Tried restarting the bitcoin core, doesn't help. I guess, I'll have to wait for it to fix everything on it's own.

Check other aspects related to Bitcoin Core, such as the available storage space, the internet data package you're using, or if your firewall is blocking Bitcoin Core from accessing the internet (?)

Avoid making changes from the pruning option to the full data blockchain download option, or vice versa. I noticed a warning that it would reset all downloaded blockchain data. See img below for detail...

That can't be possible. Maybe your electricity was interrupted. Or you can go to settings > Power & Battery > and look at the battery levels to know if there was a point it stopped charging. For me, I've set my laptop to never sleep under any condition, it has always been my default setting. Many times I wake up and the power is interrupted, I don't bother checking it because I already know that it was turned on even when the power was interrupted, so it is low.

For me, There is no way of electricity interruption. I have a power backup in my house. I use an IPS and I was home all night but I didn't notice any electricity interruption. Moreover, My Lenovo laptop has two batteries which gives me 5 to 6 hours of backup. The laptop was always plugged in and this is the setting I am using:

Do you see anything wrong in the screenshot?
I am currently 1 year and 47 weeks behind the current progress per hour is 0.5% (+-) which has drastically decreased. This is the progress on Day 6.

I don't know what happened but the progress per hour decreased.

Having 0.00% progress per hour isn't promising. Have you checked the Network Traffic and Peers tabs? Does the number of blocks remaining still decrease or does it go up? Could your ISP be throttling your Bitcoin Core? If so: have you tried a VPN? My favourite accepts any amount, and you can use it for just a few hours if you pay them 2 cents in Monero.

It's fixed now. Currently at 0.50% per hour on average with 72% completion. My internet speed was upgraded from 5 mbps to 12 mbps yesterday. But as I live in a rural area, the bandwidth isn't always stable. That was the main issue. I am hoping that, I'll reach 100% sync in 3-4 days.

Did you guys notice what I have posted and did you try to check if it's the same for you? My progress is getting slower day by day. For some unknown reason, I found out that my laptop was shut down in the morning but I kept it open. It happened two days in a row now. When I start it again, Seems like it was opened from sleep mode even though the sleep mode is disabled. I am not sure what is going on. My current progress is 61.77% on 5th day.

Hey! It's the same for me. I always kept the bitcoin core running overnight but when I woke up in the morning the screen was totally black (sleep mode). I faced this 3-4 times, even today. I had some work outside. So around 8 o Clock (morning time) I started running it again and went outside, returned home around 4 o Clock (evening), again SLEEP mode.

Note: Auto sleep mode and other settings are set as "never/disable" and I'm 100% sure electricity wasn't interrupt either. Weird. Undecided

64% for me, same as you, progress decreased.

The possible reason for boosting the progress is, that when we restart the Bitcoin Core, It shuts down without updating the number of blocks left. But, once we start the Bitcoin core again, it synchronizes the downloaded blocks first and then starts downloading the next blocks and the number of blocks left gets frozen again or updated very slowly. I assume it happens due to the low RAM or CPU power.

Can I join the list? Here's my progress after 1 hour and 30 minutes. The stats show a pretty accurate increase per hour, starting at 0.5%, and now it's up to 3%, making me feel like things are picking up speed.

Starting to be interested in installing Bitcoin core (again) , because previously I failed to install Bitcoin core because it required a lot of data and time. Seem many people are just starting out now, I don't think it's too late to install this on my PC.

Guys always make sure that you close your node properly or you could run into issues where it will start “Replaying blocks” and you’ll see a whole lot of “Rolling Forward” files in your debug. This can go on for hours (depending on how much cache that wasn’t flushed to your disk yet). Check this issue on GitHub
