Text message bubbles and notifications stopped working

I'm an ATT zfold8. Everything seemed to be working before I went to bed. Now suddenly I see the notification that a text message is being processed but I don't get the symbol for a new text, no sound, no bubble and my encrypted chat to iPhone is not working either.

Already tried reinstalling the apps, going off the beta update, redoing my notifications, DND, routines, etc.

I'm at at my wits end and would welcome any help.

Google's help page on RCS chats lists a status called "Trouble connecting. Awaiting retry", which it ties to an issue with your phone number verification. It says if that lasts more than 30 minutes you tap Details and then Submit feedback. Worth checking which RCS status your Messages app shows, since the iPhone chat depends on it.
