Advanced data protection cannot be activated

Question

I am using an iPhone Pro 11 with iOS 16.3. I am also using an iPad 11 Pro with the same iOS version.

Account recovery is activated and a recovery has been created.

The main issue is this: I am unable to activate advanced data protection. I have tried it on both devices. I get the following error message:

Any idea what else I could try?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Signing out and in again of Apple was the solution. After signing in again I was able to activate advanced data security.
