mtkclient [0] would let you skip the whole 7/14 days thing (also: unrestricted partition dumping/flashing). Though there are chances of ending up with soft/hard brick (normally possible to revert back to working state as long as you have backups), and there may be no support for your specific chipset/device/software revision at all.

I went through a lot of trouble unlocking an old Xiaomi. mtkclient bypass methods do not work as a for all Xiaomi (or at least did not for my device). Thread: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/issues/110

Neat! Although there are Qualcomm-based Xiaomi phones, too (e. g. Redmi Note 8T).
