Unable to Activate Airtag, Could Not Complete AirTag Setup

So... I purchased a 4 pack of Airtags a while ago. I activated 3 of them when received and left the 4th in the box. 8 months later, I cannot activate the 4th. I get the same error on 2 different iPhone 12s that are signed into the same Apple ID. Both iPhones are running iOS 16.0.2.

I've tried disabling Find My IPhone and re-enabling. Signed Out of iCloud and re-activated on my 12 Pro Max. AirTag battery tested OK.

I keep getting the following error:

"To set up this Airtag, sign in with your Apple ID in Settings."

Any Suggestions?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Moved to different location and activated AirTag successfully.

Maybe something interfering locally at my desk? Very odd experience.
