They can't find another block because they don't have enough hashpower pointed at bcash chain. The other blocks were mostly founded by a mysterious miner organisation, not by the real miners. (in this case it is viabtc.) Those unknown miners probably stopped mining and viabtc is desperately trying to mine another block for hours with their tiny hashpower.

It will take a few weeks for the difficulty adjustments to balance with the available hash power.

Difficulty adjustments only happen when blocks are mined.  So without any being mined (since 11 hours ago),  there are a ton of BCH just sitting in limbo that aren't going to move unless miners make a sacrifice.

Why has the block time increased? I thought the reducing difficulty will make it stable.
