My phone says it will take 14 hours to restore from iCloud. That seems very long.

I’m setting up my new iPhone 12 ProMax and it says it will need 20 hours to restore from iCloud. Is that normal? It seems very long.

It says my new iPad will take 2days to restore from iCloud? Seriously? How long does it take to restore data from iCloud? My new iPad says time remaining 2days. That can’t be right?

Restore from iCloud is going to take 2 days- is this normal? I bought the iPhone 14 this afternoon. I went through the backing up process on my old phone and then turned on my new phone to begin setting it up. The iCloud options came up and the screen said that I could transfer my data by the cloud which would take 15 minutes or some other way that would take 45-55 minutes. I chose the 15 minute option and now, after an hour, my screen now says it will take 2 days for it to be set up. Is this normal? I'm super agitated. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Depends on how much data you have to download and how fast is the Wi-Fi Network connection.
