Yes, this is normal. No, there is nothing to panic about. You just have to wait a bit longer.

In the last 24 hours, the mempool has never fully cleared, and although plenty of 2 sat/byte transactions have confirmed here have always been at least a few hundred transactions with a fee of 2 sat/byte waiting to be confirmed. Your transaction has been one of the unlucky ones which hasn't yet been picked by a miner. 2 sat/byte transactions are now 4 MB from the tip, and the mempool is starting to fill again as it usually does around this time of the day. In all likelihood the earliest you will get confirmed now is in around 16 hours, but you may be waiting a few days yet.

Since you are sending from a Blockchain.com wallet, the option of speeding up your transaction using RBF is not available to you. Who were you sending the coins to? The recipient could perform a CPFP transaction if you are in a hurry for the transaction to confirm, although this will incur a cost. If the transaction is not urgent, then just be patient.
