Forgotten Passcode iPhone 11 iOS 16.0

As you can see, I have managed to forget my passcode. The last two attempts at remembering it have left me with the "Iphone Unavailable - try again in 8 hours" message. In between those two 8 hour wait time attempts I also had one go at just restarting the device, without inputing a wrong passcode and again I had to wait 8 hours!

I couldn't find any reference of a situation like this or about the number of attempts thay I have left until the phone permanently locks itself. How many attemps at the passcode do I have?
