I've been using my iCloud account regularly for the past three months, even though I haven't had any Apple devices during that time. My iCloud holds all my important information, like accounts, photos, notes, and even crypto exchanges. However, a week ago, I couldn't log in because I stopped receiving the SMS verification codes on my phone, and I didn't get any calls either. Now I'm getting an error that says, "Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last code you received or try again later." It's been 24 hours since the message appeared, and nothing has changed. I live in a region where support is only available by phone, and I have to wait two weeks for assistance. I'm really worried since everything important to me is linked to this iCloud account. What should I do?

It sounds really frustrating! Since you mentioned you haven't had any Apple devices for a while, have you contacted your phone provider to make sure there are no issues with your SMS? Sometimes, carriers can inadvertently block messages, especially if it's a number you haven't used in a while. Also, if you're currently in Russia, make sure your number is still active for international messaging.
Yeah, definitely check with your carrier! I had a similar problem once, and a quick call to them sorted it out.
