Hey AintNobodyGotTimeForThis,


Having a backup is important! If you haven't already, restart your Mac and iPhone to see if fresh connections help to resolve this:


Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


If the behavior continues, these additional steps under "Try again after each step" may help to resolve this: If you can't back up your iOS or iPadOS device to a computer or restore it from a backup - Apple Support


Keep us posted on the results.


Take care!
