Unable to handoff from iPhone X to MacBook Air

My iPhone X (IOS13.5.1) cannot use handoff features with MacBook Air M1. For example, I used to be able to continue typing (it can’t work anymore since morning) in notes if I started my essay on MacBook and handoff to IPhone. However, I can no longer do it anymore + it cannot go the other way round (iPhone ->MacBook). Apps include :notes, message , safari and etc.

Similar problem occur on Universal Clipboard, where I can copy from MacBook and paste it in my iPhone, but not the other way round.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

I have an iPhone XS Max (iOS 15.3) and a Mac mini (2018, running Monterey 12.2). While I don't use the handoff functions in the same way, I do use features that depend on handoff such as SideCar. I also have occasionally used the feature where Safari on the iPhone shows up in the dock on the Mac.

Handoff features have several prerequisites (check online documentation or check with Apple Support). Off the top of my head, I believe these include:

Same Apple ID on both devices
Bluetooth enable on both devices (with the devices in close proximity)
Apps enabled in iCloud (see below)
