Weird experience. I'm used to the 20 minute confirmation time. I just did a transaction and it's confirming very slowly, almost 30 minutes now for 10 confirmations.

Was there some protocol change?

The 20 minutes is a long term average, it is not unusual for it to take quite a bit longer or shorter. If there have recently been bigger changes in network hashrate, that can affect things as well.

The hashrate does seem to be down. So as the price of XMR dips, the miners reduce, and the hashrate reduces, and confirmation times increase?

and difficulty takes some time to adjust, hence confirmation times are longer. I don't remember the exact numbers off the top of my head but it is not instantaneous.
