Messages on M1 Mac won't sync with iCloud

I bought an M1 MacBook Air and the Messages app won't sync with iCloud even though it was enabled. I tried disabling it first and then when I wanted to enable it again in the Messages settings, it just says "unable to update iCloud settings at this time". I've already disabled and re-enabled Messages in the iCloud settings on my iPhone, but it still didn't work. What's the solution here?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

If you had changed Apple ID Change your Apple ID - Apple Support or its password Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support from iPhone ( when the iPhone and Mac is signed in with same Apple ID and password on the same network initially ) , it has to be updated on Mac What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
