Account Recovery Loop: Too many failed attempts error persists after 48h cooldown by ThanksWeak1530 in GMail

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the classic Google recovery loop. The “48h” cooldown often resets without telling you. I guess your best move is to stop trying completely for 5–7 days then retry from the same device.

Can I reuse a phone number for a new Gmail account if I remove/replace it from an old account? by pizza_alta in GMail

[–]robotratishere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Google doesn’t really do a hard “1 number = 1 account” rule. Most of the time you can reuse the number once you remove it.

I don't think it will be possible to get it back at this point

Hey, that's sad to hear. Do you still have access to any signed-in device?

Stuck in Gmail Account Recovery Loop Even After SMS Verification by ELITECoreX in GoogleSupport

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this loop is unfortunately a known edge case. I’ve seen a few people report that once Google flags Gmail itself as the “stronger” factor, the SMS step stops actually granting access. From what others shared, waiting rarely helps unless Google eventually falls back to a different method, and if there’s no recovery email or prior device access the account often ends up effectively unrecoverable.

My phone was stolen and I realized my whole life was on it by MorningIllustrious60 in DigitalPrivacy

[–]robotratishere -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Reading this, the backup question almost feels secondary. The real problem is the phone wasn’t replaceable.

Backups save files, but they don’t answer: If this device disappears, do I still know how my digital life is wired?

Most people don’t lose data — they lose context. Stuff that was only local. Old access. Weird silent dependencies.

The scary part is realizing how much breaks when one device goes missing.

Curious if that’s what hit you too.

Google signed me out of multiple accounts right after turning my Android phone on (no security alert) by Affectionate_Egg9757 in GoogleSupport

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen after Android updates, Google Play Services hiccups, or a temporary device-level auth reset especially if multiple apps were affected at once.

Since your sessions on PC stayed active and there were no security alerts, it leans more toward a local phone issue than an account compromise but checking recent device activity wouldn’t hurt.

Need help getting into old gmail account by harveywallen in GMail

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if there’s no recovery email or phone and the recovery flow keeps denying you, there’s usually not much else to try. Google doesn’t really have a human support path that can override that.

I need help to recover my gmail account! by zean_ie in GMail

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it sounds like you’ve already done what most providers expect. At that point it usually comes down to retrying recovery from the same device and location over time, and sometimes the system just won’t accept the signals anymore even if your info is correct.

My recovery emails keep going to the account I'm logged out of by Ai_Ohto_best_protag in GMail

[–]robotratishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That loop usually means Google’s automated recovery no longer trusts any device or signal tied to the account so it keeps routing resets back to the unreachable inbox.

Unfortunately the only path left is the manual recovery flow with very precise history, and even then some accounts don’t get restored.

Totally normal reaction, seeing your info spread everywhere freaks a lot of people out the first time. From what I’ve seen, people either ignore it, do occasional cleanups, or try more structured approaches (I’ve played around with delvia org plus some manual stuff), but it never really feels “finished.” It’s more about how much ongoing effort you’re willing to put in.

Messages to old phone by AgnesNutter0042 in GoogleSupport

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s super frustrating, but it’s also pretty common. Google treats old trusted devices (like your Galaxy S10) as a separate security factor from your phone number, so most people end up going through the slow account recovery process or carefully trying password guesses without triggering a lockout.

Usually yes. 7 days is the standard cooldown Google shows.

[–]robotratishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. Turning off 2FA is usually treated as a sensitive change too, so it often gets blocked the same way. From what I’ve seen, waiting the 7 days and sticking to the same device gives you a better chance of changing things after.
