I recently forgot my Apple ID password and made several unsuccessful attempts to log in. Now, I'm being asked for verification via a phone number that I no longer have access to. Luckily, I found the password written down, and I remember it exactly. I'm curious: does Apple require phone verification after multiple failed login attempts even if the password is correct? If so, how long does this verification requirement last?

Yeah, when you try to log in with the wrong password too many times, Apple triggers a security measure, which includes phone verification. You definitely have to go through account recovery if you can't access that phone. Check out the official Apple account recovery page for details on how to proceed.
It's good to call Apple directly at 800-MYAPPLE if you're really struggling. They have a dedicated team for this kind of issue and can provide direct support. Trust me, it's worth it to save your account from getting locked completely.
You’re right about the verification being necessary for security. Unfortunately, even if you found the password, after multiple failed attempts, you will most likely still be asked for the two-factor verification code. If you leave it alone for a while, it might help, but there's no guarantee that you'll skip the verification step.
