Why is it every time I try to upgrade software for my I phone 5s to iOS 12.5.5 it stuck in the downloading process and keeps telling me estimating time
iPhone 5s, iOS 11
Assuming you're trying to update your device wirelessly, and bearing in mind that to perform such a procedure you need to connect your device to a reliable and fast Wifi Network with Internet access (no cellular data, unless you use a 5G network, no personal hotspot on your device, no VPN connections are admitted, no Low Power Mode enabled, and I suggest that you keep the device plugged into power during the whole update process), read this support article:--> If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update
Also, make sure your device is NOT running a Beta operating system version. Should be this case, you need to remove it before installing any official iOS/iPadOS releases, as per these instructions:--> How to uninstall iOS or iPadOS beta software - Apple Support.
DO NOT forget to create a full backup of your device before updating its operating system, and keep in mind that, depending on the available storage on your device and/or on your wifi network speed, it might take 30-60 minutes to complete the entire update process.
If the issue persists or if the iOS version currently running on your device is very old (seeing your product list it looks like your device is still running iOS 11, and this might be the culprit), try to update it via computer (if you don't have a computer borrow one from your friends/neighbors, or ask for help at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider), then learn how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.

serena ~ In that case, the aging battery is overdue for replacement and is likely to be causing the update to stall. Have the battery replaced:

serene ~ Does your iPhone 5s still have its 6–9 year-old original battery?

Yeah it’s still does
Why every time I try to update my I phone 5s to iOS 12.5.5 it keeps telling me estimating time to download and then it stucks there?
