Has anyone had trouble with account recovery?

My Apple ID won’t work with my password nor 6 digit password. I’ve been in account recovery since July 15th. Anyone else have any problems?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

"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." - see the document for more details.
