Reset security questions

When I walk through the steps to reset security questions (because I forgot the answers to my last ones) it says I can not reset at this time. So if not at this time, then what time? How can I access my account without losing my account?

There is usually an 8 to 24 hour wait period.


If necessary, there is a contact link.

As per this article https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201303

Employee privacy and security policies

In addition to strong passwords, encryption, and other technology, Apple has strict policies and procedures in place to prevent unauthorized access to your account. Without proof of your identity via security questions and other carefully selected criteria, Apple Support can't help you reset a password or perform any other actions on your account. These policies are audited and reviewed on a regular basis.
