If you don't need to unlock then it is $40 for first month service. Total now requires two months of active service to unlock. This phone does not require higher plans. Minimum plan is now $40/month (used to be $30/month).
You can chat with customer service to get second month for $10 for unlimited talk & text with no data to satisfy the unlock requirements (YMMV)

***YMMV***
You can bypass port by activating the phone while order is processing when the IMEI of the phone is shown in your account.
Yet to receive tracking info for the phone ordered 10/13 but could see IMEI in the account and got a new number.
Community Reviews
The Moto G Stylus 5G is drawing interest as a midrange Motorola with a bright display, good sound, microSD support, a headphone jack, and even Qi wireless charging. The strongest value comes from the unlock path, since the phone can reportedly be unlocked after 60 days of paid service, and some buyers have cut the second month down to a $10 Stay Connected plan. The main friction is the Total Wireless process itself, which often requires ID verification and a qualifying port, and the site can be buggy about activation and pricing. Compatibility concerns also linger for AT&T because this appears to be a Verizon variant.

The phone downloaded couple of updates with Sept 1 security patch. After that the phone restarted. I called the unlock dept and mentioned that I had activated the phone recently (on Oct 17) and asked/checked the actual unlock date. The unlock dept mentioned that since device was activated recently, it needed 60 days of active service and after the second month payment is done, it will unlock on Dec 16 2025.
Got this case & screen protector for around $7.60 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DP1X4HY9. There is a % off coupon sometimes.
