Why is iCloud backup taking longer than usual on iPad?

The automatic back up for iCloud is switched on in my iPad, and it has been backing up regularly. But for the last week, every time I want to back up, it says 2hours, then 2days. Is this normal? How can I set it right?

iCloud backups perform best when your iPad is plugged in to power, using strong Wi-Fi (no VPN, no anti-virus), and reasonably idle.
