The longer you've been locked out, the more confidence Google will have that it's really you trying to log in. That said, the system is really dumb. I have a friend who just got locked out of her account for multiple days because she had a Google phone number, and so of course Google wouldn't let her log into her account to retrieve the text they were trying to send her. Now obviously if she had purposely enabled 2FA using this number then that would have been a mistake, but it's less obvious that one day they would just randomly decide to enable it for her using a phone number that obviously would not work.
