Hi Tollypopo,


You came through from an article that provides great steps for clearing the error. If the steps in the article did not resolve the issue, then we'd recommend trying the steps listed below that can also be found here: Set up your replacement AirPods or charging case - Apple Support


Set up your AirPods or charging case
1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the Information button  next to your AirPods.
2. Tap Forget This Device.
3. Tap Forget Device, and tap again to confirm.
4. Put both AirPods in your charging case.
5. Open the lid and check the status light. It should flash amber.
6. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for a few seconds. The status light should flash white.*
7. Go to the Home Screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
8. Open the case—with your AirPods inside—and hold it next to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. A setup animation appears on your screen.
9. Tap Connect, then tap Done.

Best regards
