Will I get my iCloud back?

I recently restarted/erased my phone and stupidly didn’t realize I hadn’t updated my trusted phone numbers so now that I no longer have access to those numbers, I can’t get the verification codes being sent to them. I knew my password but couldn’t log in because of this and couldn’t use a recovery email because it was the same icloud email I can’t get into :\ but after I entered the old phone numbers it said I had to wait these days. What does this mean? Will I be able to log in after the 12 days and get everything back?

You didnt mention that. They are the ultimate source of assistance.

If all the trusted numbers are no longer available and no other recovery email the only other option if your phone is at the Hello stage is to create a new Apple ID and start again. losing your iCloud data and purchases.

Do you have an Apple Genius Bar to go to? Take ID and phone proof of purchase.

You need Apple's help. You can reach out to Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: contact Apple Support

If you want your old iCloud back then there is no other option apart from talking to someone in an Apple T-shirt . It is to protect your data and passwords stored on iCloud from thieves.
