Sound Pending--how to unfreeze it on iPhone 8

iPhone 8 and Air Pods 2d generation. I went to "Find My" (misplaced airpods in house) and "sound pending" came up and has hung now for the last two full days. In the meantime I've found the Airpods, but Find Me is still telling me it's looking. I never did hear a sound, and the Find My never seemed to locate the airpods, which were in their case that was in a jacket pocket hanging on a nearby hook. What do I need to do to unfreeze the app and to make it useful?
