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.

Wait it Out:

Yes. This is normal. Transferring data can take quite some time. So, wait it out, and it will install, sure enough.
