I can't get started with Signal for the last few days.

It rejects the correct SMS confirmation code it's sending/receiving itself :)

You could try removing the SMS permission from the app, and just type the code into Signal manually once you get the SMS with the code.
I doubt you're actually having this problem, but if you are, you can add an issue to the corresponding Android/iOS repo.
They had announced capacity issues with SMS service due to onboarding a massive number of new users.
That resulted in delays, not incorrect codes.
Maybe the code was taking so long to get through that it was expiring?

At any rate, I know a couple of people who have recently signed up so it's not affecting everybody.
