Hi honorio33,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If the update appears to be paused or is moving slowly on your device, the guidance form the article below can help:
If your iPhone or iPad won't update
If you're installing the update, the progress bar might appear to move slowly. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on your device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source. If your device runs out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
