Cannot connect to RCS Messaging

I have a Pixel 10 Pro on Xfinity wireless - RCS was working completely fine. My wife (iPhone on same account as mine) stopped working with RCS (so we could no longer message each other).  Our daughter (also on an iPhone on the same account) had no issues with RCS.  So I reset my connections on my Pixel and now I cannot connect to RCS Messaging.  I have:  ensured everything is updated, rebooted, cleared cache/data in Messages/carrier, opted out of RCS and back, deactivated RCS on Google's portal everything shy of deleting eSIM factory reset phone.
I need my RCS back for work and personal use - then I can start on my wife's iPhone and RCS.

thank you. Fortunately, if anyone else requires this: turn off RCS on your phone, opt out of RCS on Google's side then you need to wait at least 24 hours before turning RCS back on on your phone.  That 24 hour waiting period is what is required before it can be enabled again.
All is good.
