why can't i add a new custom focus

I'm trying to add a new custom focus but don't see an add button on the Focus section of settings. I was able to create new custom focus modes before. The same problem happens on my other apple devices using the same iCloud account. What is causing this issue?

iPhone 12

I also have this problem; in iOS 15, I thought I still saw the + symbol in the upper right corner. But in iOS 16, it was gone. I tried removing a focus and viola, but the + symbol returned. I dug a little deeper, and it appears that apple is imposing a limit of 10; once you reach this, the + symbol disappears. I don't know if this is a bug or intentional.


Apple developers, if you see this and know if it's intentional or a bug, kindly let us know.
