Iphone 11 OS 18.3 Bluetooth stopped working

While listening to my BT speaker, it unpaired from my iphone 11. Now my phone won't pair with any accessory, though it shows on the app and buffers with no pairing at all. I tried restart, reset network, turned off BT, turned off accessory, checked OS update- you name it I tried.

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN.
