You're likely referring to a countdown related to Bitcoin. I'll do my best to provide context.
Bitcoin has a block time of approximately 10 minutes, and there are currently about 91 million Bitcoin blocks mined since its inception. The "halving" you mentioned occurs every 210,000 blocks (or approximately every 4 years) when the reward for mining new Bitcoins is cut in half.
To confirm your statement:
* There have been around 3,724,500 blocks mined so far.
* That means there are about 89 million blocks left to mine before reaching block 91 million.
* Assuming an average block time of 10 minutes, this would translate to roughly 1.5 years or less.
Keep in mind that the halving is indeed scheduled for approximately every 4 years (210,000 blocks), so we're on track for a halving event around mid-2024.
