Hello androidsrbett3r,
We understand the time it’s taking longer for account recovery to complete. This article provides the reason why: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support
After you start account recovery
After you request account recovery, you get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access. This email arrives within 72 hours.
• If you submitted your account recovery request with iforgot.apple.com through your device's browser, you should avoid using that device during this period. Using that device might cancel account recovery.
• To avoid delays, turn off other devices that are signed in with your Apple ID until account recovery is complete.
When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account. Follow the instructions to immediately regain access to your Apple ID.
In some cases, you might be able to speed up the account recovery process or reset your password immediately by verifying a six-digit code sent to your primary email address. You might also be able to shorten the wait time by providing credit-card details to confirm your identity. If you’re given this option, an authorization request goes to the card issuer.*
If you use the device that was used to start the account recovery process, that can cancel it. If you use other devices that are signed in with the Apple ID going through account recovery, the process can be delayed.
We know how much we rely on our Apple devices. However, to get things back to the way they were, we recommend avoiding using them until the process is completed (if you’re able).
Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.
All the best.
