How do I stop the 'attempting data recovery' loop and log in normally after failed passcode attempts on my iPhone?

How do I get out of this loop and log in normally?

Yesterday morning, I forgot my iPhone passcode as it slipped my mind, since I'm so used to entering it with muscle memory.

In a panic, I reached 6 failed attempts which resulted in the 15 min wait period, until finally I reached 10 attempts and had a 1 hr wait period.

After that, I was given another chance to enter in a passcode (it was incorrect) and it gave me a 3hr waiting period.

After the period, I entered in my final guess (which was wrong, again) and it gave another 3hr waiting period. Eventually, I was afraid I wouldn't get any more attempts so I looked up methods on how to unlock a phone with forgotten passcode.

I found a method that mentioned going into recovery mode, so I did with my MacBook, and part of the method was to restore my iPhone.

I did not realize this meant deleting all my data, and I realized this as I was software updating it.

My most recent backup is from mid January, so out of panic (thinking my software update would lead to restoring my phone), I yanked out the USB cord as it was restarting after finishing installing the update.

Once it restarted, I was presented with a white screen that asked for my passcode (at this point I finally recalled it, so I entered it) and it displayed a message about attempting data recovery.

After research, I realize it's from my failed software update.

After waiting for data recovery to finish, my phone screen said phone unavailable try again in 3 hr.

So, I waited and the attempting data recovery was there again.

I think I went through this loop like 3 times (9 hours!!) until I wanted to find other solutions that don't need me to factory reset.

And after each time I leave recovery mode, I get the 3hr unavailable message.

I've tried:

• Finder software update (twice, using apple cord)
• 3uTools
• Force restarting
• Force quit recovery mode

Haven't tried:

• "Repairing" with 3rd party software
• Entering in wrong passcodes when prompted before the attempting data recovery
• Restoring (I'm hoping it doesn't have to come to this.)
