This problem occurs when I am trying to improve my answer in this question.
You can compile this code very well
documentclass[tikz]standalone
usetikzlibrarybending,decorations.text
begindocument
begintikzpicture
sffamily
node (a) at (-2,0) probability;
node[align=center] (b) at (2,0) percent\change;
draw[-latex,postaction=decorate,decoration=raise=1ex,text along path,text align=center,text=multiply by 100] (a) to[out=60,in=120] (b);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
but don't compile this code!

endtikzpicture
enddocument
I have been waiting for more than 200 seconds
Why? I just want to add a percent symbol (%)!
I think TikZ understood my % as %, but removing the throws many errors.
I even used siunitx, but got the same result.

The infinite loop is triggered by any unexpandable control sequence token, even byrelax(except implicit character tokens that raise errors). Bracing the token is the right way to go.

You can make this work by changing the % character to not be the comment character anymore using catcode:
documentclass[tikz]standalone
usetikzlibrarybending,decorations.text
begindocument
begintikzpicture
sffamily
node (a) at (-2,0) probability;
node[align=center] (b) at (2,0) percent\change;
beginscope
catcode`%=12
draw[-latex,postaction=decorate,decoration=raise=1ex,text along path,text
align=center,text=multiply by 100%] (a) to[out=60,in=120] (b);
endscope
endtikzpicture
enddocument

Thanks, it solved the problem. However, could you please add some explanation about why%doesn't work?

@JouleV for that I'd have to dig through the internals of TikZ, which isn't something I feel like right now, sorry.

Very nice your 2nd image: How do I find the compilation time? Do you have any specific software where you can see the build time? My regards.

@Sebastiano I use VS Code. The LaTeX Workshop extension gives me a link to see the compilation process, which I don't use really often, but it is very useful in strange situations, like this situation.

The infinite loop is triggered by any unexpandable control sequence token, even by
relax(except implicit character tokens that raise errors). Bracing the token is the right way to go.– egreg
