My Face ID works for a while and stops. When I try to set it up, it’s says Face ID not available, try again later. I haven’t been able to set it up for about a week now and I’m confused.

If you still need help, reset Face ID, then set it up again. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and tap Reset Face ID. Then tap Set up Face ID to set it up again. If you can't enrol your face, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider or contact Apple Support.1
