Airdrop stopped working between my iphone and Macbook Pro

Airdrop just stopped working one day. Airdrop settings on MacBook Pro are "allow me to be discovered by everyone." I can see my iphone on the Airdrop screen on my MBP and I can see my MacBook Pro on my iphone when I hit the upload icon, but on the iphone it just says "waiting"when I try to send anything from my iphone to my MBP. Even small files won't transmit. Block incoming connections is NOT selected in Firewall options on the MBP. Both devices on the same wifi network.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16
