SOLVED.

talked to apple tech and was told to restart the phone.

after restart, went to settings for "Update Apple ID Setttings ..... (1)" and entered appleID pw. this time it went through and "Update Apple ID Setttings ..... (1)" message disappeared.

after that, "restore in progress. an estimated xx.xGB will be required to finish restoring your apps and data" numbers started to actually decrease.

The phone turns off Wi-Fi when it locks, unless it is plugged in. So if you had the App Store set to only download on Wi-Fi it will pause when the phone locks. Leaving it plugged in until the downloads finish should be sufficient. My phone, with 300 3rd party apps, restores all of the apps and my 10,000 music tracks in about an hour on a 100mbps Wi-Fi connection.

In my case it looked like my IPhone X ( the one I was transferí g from)I had a beta version and it could not upgrade to iOS 15 so I had to use my friends iPhone 11 to transfer my iCloud storage and setting as if it was my new phone, then from her phone I was able to do the same process of transferring my iCloud info and data into my new iPhone 13 and it worked . Later my friend restored her info into her iPhone 11 and we were both finally happy up and running. Hope it helps
