Bootit UEFI taking hours to resize SSD

I've finally joined this forum, though I've used BootItBM extensively for over a decade. I've just beginning to use BootIt UEFI for a month now.

My main Linux Mint ext4 is running out of space, so I'm resizing it from 25GB to 45GB. However it has taken 4 hours for phase 2 alone!

Does anyone know why this is? I've not tried resizing with this program before. My only thought is that it's on an SSD. I'm a little worried as to what it's doing to me SSD.

I don't know the exact version number of Bootit UEFI, since my Dell G7 laptop is indisposed for the next few hours.

Thank you in advance for any assistance or clarity.

Here's a screenshot:

Either the firmware has an extremely slow implementation to access the drives (PIO), or there may be recoverable errors occurring (or the firmware locked up).
