Google just kicked me out of my account, no option to verify

Question

Earlier today, I got logged out from one of my devices (Macbook Pro ) on Chrome. I thought it was not a big deal so I tried signing in again but then it asked me to verify my phone number which I did not have at the moment, my phone's screen had just broken and it was gone for repair. Eventually, Google just gave up on my device when it even stopped asking me to verify. I tried clearing cookies, switching VPN on/off, restarting my system, using location spoof but literally nothing helped and now I'm just locked out of my own account on one of the devices. Not sure what to do next.

I had something similar happen a few months ago (dead phone and no access to my backup email).
In the end, I had to put my simcard into a new phone and verify.
Sorry I can't be of more help right now with the access issue.
But, some advice from my lesson: EVACUATE FROM GMAIL IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING IMPORTANT IN YOUR EMAILS.
Switch to an email account using a domain you own (and ideally use a paid email provider so you can at least contribute to them sticking around).

do you have other device in which you used to login? if yes,try to verify through that system, google do fingerprint all your recently used devices and may allow you to login. other option is wait for your device repair or swap the sim in other device.

while your phone is out for repair can you call the repair person and ask him to give you the code sent from google?

you have essentially vendor-lock-outed yourself. people love to keep multiple things in the same place but it creates a single point of failure.iirc google requires another email as backup address for exactly this kind of situation. don't you have one set up instead of just a phone number?
