iPhone XR keeps exiting recovery mode

I recently got a new iPhone XR. I transferred all my data from my old iPhone and everything was fine. I was able to use it for a few minutes with all my usual apps and everything. However, after locking my phone and proceeding to unlocking it, it wouldn't recognize the passcode. When I was setting up the new iPhone I put it a passcode and that same passcode for some reason is not being recognized now. I followed the steps used to recover the iPhone using my Mac, but the iPhone keeps exiting recovery mode. Anyone knows what to do?

Per https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306 “The Finder or iTunes will download software for your iPhone. If it takes more than 15 minutes, your iPhone will exit recovery mode, and you'll need to select your iPhone model above and repeat the steps to remove the passcode.”

Just wait for the software to finish downloading before doing recovery mode restore again.

What does “exiting recovery mode” mean exactly? If recovery mode completed normally, then as the article linked above explains, the next step is to restore your data and settings.
