Stopping “erase iPhone”

I lost my iPhone then found again but in poor condition. If I stop “erase my iPhone” from FindMyiphone... can I recover the data remotely?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

You have an iCloud or iTunes latest backup, then there is nothing to worry. If not read more...
You have synced your data to iCloud, then what you will get back is what you have synced to iCloud and uploaded to iCloud Drive; like the information that are synced and stored in iCloud are, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, shared photos, iCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive. (*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.)
You have imported your Photos & Videos to Mac/PC then they are safely residing there on Mac/PC
You have uploaded some of it to Cloud Drives using Files app (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc). The data remains there.
You have not backed up or do not have latest backup, nor imported nor you have synced nor uploaded your data to cloud drives prior to forgetting the passcode then I am sorry, all your data is lost.
