i am trying to recover my Hotmail account through getting a phone code however system is mentioning that this service is not available at the moment. The email that is linked as a verification backup is closed, hence i tried to fill the account recovery form various times but there is no email response by Microsoft team at my substitute email

This account is 30+ years old and is linked to all my important communications with external and government websites hence it is extremely imperative to get this issue resolved on priority.
