Recovery email + Device code not verifying email

Hi, I got "session expired" on my gmail account and when I tried logging back in, I went through verification process with my recovery email + a code sent to another device. I did those two just fine but seems it's not enough to verify and I'm in a loop of giving a phone number to send a code to but it's not working either. "Try Another Way" doesn't lead anywhere and only gives me the phone number page.

I've left it alone for a week as some suggested but it's still the same. Any tips on this?

Whats the point of the recovery email and the device code if it's not enough to get into the account?
