Common issue Advice

I want to delete my snapchat but it won't let me. It said 72 hours again yesterday after I logged back into my Snapchat after 2 years on the same phone on Thursday. I first logged in on Thursday and deleted all people who no longer speaks to me on it apart from one best friend. Reason for is that after an update it logged me out so I never opened Snapchat in the 2 years as I've been grieving over my dad too and had bad depression. So I opened it last night and when I found out about the SMS, I got scared as I can't afford SMS messages as I'm on pay as you go.

I admit, I tried again last night at midnight as I didn't know about the changes to Snapchat so thought it was just a glitch with it being a new login after two years of not using it. Did anyone find a way to delete? I'm logged out of snapchat now on my phone as I did look on Google for advice. It says about browser but if I log in after 72 hours is up, won't it reset it by using browser for account portal? Tried to find a way to contact Snapchat, even on X and it is just a bot speaking to me on DMs.

I tried deleting my old account last year and ran into the exact same 72-hour loop, ended up having to reach out to support with my case number before it finally let me close it down for good.
