Yep, I've know people where this happened. Support's answer to you was correct - they jumped through the verification hoops and got their account back.

If you cannot do that, you might want to share what is going wrong that is stopping you.

I have sent them the following explanations, but they have not replied in six days.

I’ve had two different errors:

1. It asks for my phone number, I enter it, and get: “You have reached the maximum number of attempts. Please try again at a later date.” but I never received any verification code.

2. Or I get a verification link, open it on my phone, and before I can fill anything in, I get: “Try later.”

interesting,,,can you wait 24 hrs then try again?

is there any chance a "virus, script, scheduled task" may be attempting to hijack your linkdin ? and thats why attempts are maxing out?
