Restore not progressing

I am restoring an iPhone SE from an iCloud backup - it is still saying it has the same amount left to download after being plugged in to power and on wifi for over 15 hours. Should I stop the progress and start again? The phone is behaving weirdly as well, messages not coming through during process.

iPhone 14 Pro - Stalled Restore In Progress I purchased an iPhone 14 Pro. I set it up with iCloud backup. Now my phone indicates “Restore in Progress - An estimated 100 MB will be downloaded to finish restoring your apps and data.” It’s stalled at this point for a week. What can I do?

IPhone won't finish restoring. I've had my new iPhone 13 for about a month. I downloaded a backup from my previous iPhone from the cloud. However, under settings, it still says "restore in progress, an estimated 600 MB will be downloaded to finish restoring your apps and data". It has said this for weeks. I also get nuisance pop-up messages asking if I want to use Wi-Fi to restore. The tech in the Apple Store said just tap "stop restoring iPhone" under settings. It seems to me 600 MB is a lot of information to just cancel. Any other remedies? I have plenty of storage available and good Wi-Fi, so those aren't issues.

How much time can a restore in progress take? I have had my iPhone 14 for 2 days. Software update is waiting for my phone to finish restoring from the iCloud backup. How much time can a restore in progress take? How do I know if the restoration is still operating or if it is just frozen?

Yes, restart the process. If you have decent internet connection, that should not take you more than 2 hours, IMHO. Have you tried restoring through a Mac?
