TypeError: 'pygame.Surface' object is not subscriptable Pygame false error

I'm trying to make a progress bar with pygame by writing the following code:

import pygame
pygame.init()
window = pygame.display.set_mode((pygame.display.Info().current_w, pygame.display.Info().current_h))
text = ["Reading data ...", "Setting configs ...", "Loading files ...", "Download complete"]
textIndex = 0
font = pygame.font.SysFont("Arial", 30)

y2 = 400

while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get( ):
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            quit()
    
    text = font.render(text[textIndex], False, (0, 255, 0))
    length = 30 * len(text[textIndex])
    x2 = (pygame.display.Info().current_w / 2) - length / 2
    window.blit(text, (x2, y2))

    pygame.display.flip()

However, it gives me this pygame error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 16, in <module>
    length = 30 * len(text[textIndex])
TypeError: 'pygame.Surface' object is not subscriptable

This message comes with a line that has nothing to do with pygame, can anyone tell me how to correct this?

You cannot use the same variable name for the list of strings and the rendered text Surface. Change the name:

text = font.render(text[textIndex], False, (0, 255, 0))

text_surf = font.render(text[textIndex], False, (0, 255, 0))

window.blit(text, (x2, y2))

window.blit(text_surf, (x2, y2))
