Your pattern is equal to \d{1,2}+\), i.e. your pattern consumes and returns ).
You may use
\d{1,2}(?=\))
where (?=\)) is a positive lookahead that will require the presence of ) but won't return it in the match. Also, note that {1,2}+ here will behave the same as a non-possessive, greedy {1,2} quantifier (as there are no other ways to match the string before )), so no need adding the +.
See the regex demo.
In Java, declare it as
String regex = "\\d{1,2}(?=\\))";

You can do that:
^.*\) (.*) i want t.*$
But, Let's improve the regex:
^.*\([^\)]*\) (\d+\)).*$

since you are saying to match only 10) try the following
\d{1,2}+\)(?!.*\d{1,2}+\))
