I think there may be some incorrect assumptions here.

The Bitcoin block time is not directly related to the halving event. The halving occurs every 210,000 blocks (approximately every 4 years), and it happens at a fixed interval, not based on the current number of blocks remaining before the next halving.

As for the remaining blocks before the halving, there isn't a publicly available counter that I'm aware of. However, I can provide you with some context:

* The Bitcoin block time is around 10 minutes.
* There are approximately 6,400 blocks in a year (based on the 10-minute block time).
* So, if we assume an average block count per year, it would be around 3-4 years before the next halving (210,000 / 6,400).

You can use online tools or APIs to get the current block height and remaining blocks until the next halving. Some popular resources include:

1. Blockchain explorers like Blockchair or Bitcoin Explorer
2. Online calculators like CoinGecko's Halvening Countdown
3. API services that provide block data, such as blockchain.com/api

If you'd like to know the exact number of remaining blocks before the next halving, I recommend checking one of these resources for the most up-to-date information.
