Whether the water in a clogged toilet will eventually go down depends entirely on the nature of the blockage and whether there is a slow leak in the trapway. If the clog consists exclusively of soft toilet paper, the paper fibers will slowly absorb water, disintegrate, and allow the water level to recede over several hours. However, if the blockage contains dense paper towels, sanitary items, or solid waste, the water will likely remain stagnant indefinitely and require a plunger. Verification: Monitor the bowl water level over a 3-hour period to check if it recedes naturally without overflowing.
