My iMessage is not syncing

I just changed my password to a new one. I signed in on my computer, iPhone and iPad. For some reason, I am not longer getting cross platform syncing with iMessages. I have no idea what else is not coming through. I am only getting messages on my iPhone. When I go to my iPad, which is supposed to have all my messages from my iPhone, none of the new messages are coming through. Just the iPhone is receiving them. I changed nothing but the password for all my devices. It was input correctly on each device as I got the 6 digit code verifying the device. I have not changed any settings. I don't know what is wrong all of a sudden. I checked all the settings and they are all the same. I turned off my ipad and back on again and there was no change. Any help would be great.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Apologies for not responding sooner. Yes, I changed my password. For some reason, when I changed my password, it deleted my phone number associated with my iPhone on my iPad. I had to then add it back through various steps, but I finally got it working. I’ve changed my password before and did not have this issue, so I don’t know why it did it this time. Thank you for your help. :)
