Or is this very common and I'm over worried? Looks like in general Delta suggest people to drop off their luggage 2 hours before international departure, or am I wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I have not travelled internationally for a long time, and this is a first on Delta. Hence my question.
No, you don’t have any problems your checked bag. Your checked bag is automatically. No issues. They will put your bags on next flight out. You will be just fine. 4 hours layover is okay. You can go to Sky Club or grab a bite to eat. You shouldn’t have any problem. You still have plenty of time.
