New iPhone 11 - Too many verification codes sent

I am setting up a new iPhone and followed the instructions to receive a verification code to my phone number. None of them came through and it now says too many codes have been sent.. how am I supposed to complete setting up my phone? Can I request more codes after a certain amount of time?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

What if I can't access a trusted device or didn't receive a verification code?

If you're signing in and don’t have a trusted device handy that can display verification codes, you can have a code sent to your trusted phone number via text message or an automated phone call instead. Click Didn't Get a Code on the sign in screen and choose to send a code to your trusted phone number. You can also get a code directly from Settings on a trusted device. Learn how to get a verification code.

If you use iOS 11.3 or later on your iPhone, you might not need to enter a verification code. In some cases, your trusted phone number can be automatically verified in the background on your iPhone. It’s one less thing to do, and your account is still protected with two-factor authentication.
