Security delay loop on iPhone for book downloads

i can’t download books etc because of the Security Delay. I can’t cancel it because it goes into a hour delay over and over. Next Phone change I might have to leave Apple because this delay don’t even recognise when I am home. Grrrrr

See the pic below which is self-explanatory



Probably you have "Always" Ticked in place of "Away from Familiar Location"


For enhanced security, there's a one-hour delay when changing your location settings from "Always" to "Away from Familiar Location." This applies even if you use Face ID for authentication.



A delay will be required when you are not at a familiar location, such as your home or work, to change security settings.
