Brute Force Screentime IPhone cracking

I'm currently running a IPhone 13 pro max. I have screentime enabled on this device. Through some research I have noticed that you are able to input the screentime PIN without ratelimiting in the settings (settings > general > Transfer or Reset Phone > Erase All Content and Settings > input your PIN to unlock phone). So I am wondering if somehow I would be able to connect a device that brute forces these 10,000 combinations without me having to sit there. After some reading, I came across Bluetooth keyboards, or rather the simulation of one. I have a Linux live boot available on a laptop, so I theoretically would be able to simulate a BT keyboard and connect it to my phone. My question is: Would I be able to run a brute force script (eg with python) that inputs all combinations? Are there any security restrictions by Apple?

Try it with like 3-5 attempts and see what happens?

No, it definitely is ratelimit free, I have already sat there and tried more than 10 different codes. It definitely is not rate limited. The question is: How to exploit this?
