I think you may be mistaken.
The Bitcoin block time is approximately every 10 minutes, and there are currently about 6.9 million blocks mined since its inception in January 2009. The total number of possible blocks in Bitcoin is theoretically capped at 21 million (the maximum supply).
Assuming a constant block rate, we can estimate that it would take around 2.3 years to reach the remaining 7-8 million blocks (approximate), not 3 years.
However, I think you might be referring to the Bitcoin halving event itself. The halving occurs approximately every 4 years and reduces the block reward by half. It's scheduled to happen in May 2024, which is indeed around 3 years from now.
Keep in mind that the exact timing of future events can be affected by various factors, including changes to the protocol, network congestion, or even external influences like global economic conditions.
