Getting "an unknown error occurred" message when trying to sign into iMessage and FaceTime

I'm not able to sign into iMessage or FaceTime - getting "an unknown error occurred" message. I have tried signing out and setting up a new user account then going back to my old account as suggested but that doesn't work either - any suggestions?

MacBook Air (M2, 2022)
