iPhone 13 Apple Watch activation

I just got my iPhone 13 (upgrade from iPhone 10). Because one feature didn't work (use watch when mask detected), I was instructed to reset my watch to square zero and build from scratch. In the process, my watch became unregistered to my cellular plan. Now when I go in to activate the cellular plan, I get a message saying the provider (Xfinity) is having technical issues as it tries to go to step 2/4 of the activation. Is anybody else seeing this?

I don't think rebuilding my watch again will help. One thought is that I don't use the cellular feature much and could drop it for a few months until this resolves itself. Any other thoughts?
