I started the migrate to another MAC but for the last 20 hours the old MAC is "discoverable as my mac" and the new MAC is "checking the old mac". I didn’t got to the code yet. How long can that take? What should I do next?

Your post is a little difficult to understand because you did not tell us the method you are using to migrate. If it is taking over 4-5 hours it has likely failed. If you want to migrate from your old Mac to a new Mac, please follow the steps in Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant, this works 100% of the time an normally takes less than 2-3 hours.
