Is reading off a OTP code over the phone standard practice?

I just called a number that I thought was my bank's and reached a customer service representative that asked me to verbally read to them a one-time passcode that was texted to my phone.

Is this standard practice?

I can't imagine anybody but a scammer asking me to read them an OTP I received. Seems much more likely to be somebody trying to reset my password while I'm on the phone with them. This isn't commonplace...right?
