How the date is estimated
A halving happens every 210,000 blocks. Blocks arrive about every ten minutes, but the actual time varies with mining power, so the date is an estimate that shifts by days or weeks. The live halving countdown recalculates it from the current block height.
After this halving, about 96.875 percent of all the bitcoin that will ever exist will have been mined. The final bitcoin is not expected to be mined until around the year 2140.
