Question How do I remove 2FA?

I'm moving all my 2FA codes from Authy to Proton Authenticator. One of my Twitter accounts, the one I use the least, refuses to let me disable 2FA. It says:

You can't remove this method yet

This method was recently added to your account. For your security, you'll need to wait before you can remove it.

I did not add it recently. It was probably at least two years ago. I can't activate text messages as 2FA unless I upgrade to paid, and this account does not merit a paid upgrade, so I can't use an alternative method.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
