I ran yay -Syu and everything went well but electron25 has taken over 10 hours to update. Is there anything I could have done to speed things up?

Solution: I checked AUR and other people were commenting about similar issues. I swapped out the package for the -bin version.

    Thanks for commenting. I checked AUR for electron25, I probably should have done that before posting, and found the following comments

    An update from 25.9.8-4 to 29.5.8-5 is attempting to clone about 40 GB to my disk. Is this normal?

    I also had this issue @lillemets. Although I removed electron25 because it didn’t seem like it was required by another package. yay -Qi electron25 It doesn’t seem normal :/

    This package builds from source, so I’d say yes, this is normal. In the meantime I recommend using electron25-bin instead.

    I guess installing electron25-bin is an option.
