Account recovery is a two phase process once started. Phase 1 is the evaluation period, usually 24-48 hours but can be longer or shorter. Once phase 1 is done it enters phase 2 where iforgot.apple.com will give you the final amount of days (can be weeks) you’ll wait. On that final day you’ll get a text, follow that text/email immediately.


While your Apple ID is in account recovery you should not be trying to sign in or purchasing with that Apple ID or it stops account recovery because it thinks you’ve remembered the password again.
