The length of time can vary depending on the details available for verification and the security settings linked to your Apple ID. In some cases, recovery may take a few days, while in others it could take longer.You can monitor the status of your recovery request through iforgot.apple.com. The website provides updates about your request and may inform you when additional actions are needed.
