How to fix: „This setting cannot be changed because your Apple ID does not meet the minimum age requirements.“?

So for some reason I can’t activate tracking and personalized ads anymore. It says: „This setting cannot be changed because your Apple ID does not meet the minimum age requirements.“

Even though I‘m 18+. Logging out and logging in fixes it for 2 minutes, then it says the same again.

Tried resetting my Settings, even reset my phone to a backup that was before the problem, still not working.

iPhone XS, iOS 16
