Not receiving Ask to Buy requests I have enabled ask to buy for 2 children on my account. I was receiving their ask to buy requests until a few weeks ago. Now, they’re able to ask permission but I never receive the request. From either of them. How can I fix?

ask to buy requests not received from a child device My child account is configured for me to approve all "ask to buy" requests. It all worked nice till today, when I do not receive any request from my child iPad. I still receive requests from my child iPhone. On the iPad, all the usual prompts appear, up to the point where parent permission is asked. Neither on my iPhone or my macbook I see those requests. I tried logging in/out from the apple ID on the child iPad. I tried restarting the child iPad. I tried logging in/out from the apple ID on my iPhone and macbook. I tried restarting my iPhone. Nothing. No notification on my iPhone / macbook for my child request from the iPad. All devices on the latest iOS or macOS. I looked at the article If Ask to Buy isn't working - Apple Support but it does not help. What else can can I try?

It's taking hours (sometimes literally days) for "Ask to Buy' requests to come through. I was just able moments ago to approve a request that was made on February 16th. Obviously, the first step was to go to the support document to make sure "Ask to buy" was set up properly on my devices (which it was, and I can approve with no issues on my Mac mini) but my Macbook, which is actually with me, takes forever.
