Recently I received some btc that took about 4 days, there is another transfer that was made May 7th, I have not gotten it yet!
How can I find out the status / when I will receive it??!? I was told that the "slowdown" is due to
higher transfer fees. Will these fees ever lower, and are BTC worth the investment still??!? (Layman Terms Please).

List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Yes, the slowdown is due to the recent BRC-20 activity on the mempool that is clogging the network.
Look at this site:
https://mempool.space/ to know how much sat/vB you have to pay in order for you transaction to be prioritized by miners.
BTC is still worth a investment, no question about that.
