White spinning light turns red briefly then disappears

My iPhone and iPad no longer see the HomePod. the HomePod won’t let me reset - when I hold my finger on it, it shows the white spinning light then the red spinning light for a moment then disappears. I’ve just updated to OS 14

Issues since 5B58 firmware update? Running the latest software on my iPhone 14 Pro and iPad Air 4. Ever since AirPods firmware 5B58 was released, my AirPods Pro (1st Gen, manufactured in 2021) have been nearly worthless. The right Airpod constantly disconnects and is very difficult to get to reconnect to either device. If I pause a show and then hit play later, I’m getting intermittent sounds, as though I am a long way away from the source Bluetooth signal and it’s cutting out (even though I’m within two feet). And I’m getting recurrent crackling sounds in certain circumstances. They were working perfectly until this week, but now super frustrating. Anyone else experiencing issues?

You updated the HomePod? I don’t see an update for that on mine yet.
