Apple Notes: Auto-Refine Handwriting Stopped Working 2 Days Ago

Auto-refine handwriting has been working on my M2 12.9 iPad Pro since updating to 18.2 until yesterday. Now when I try to toggle the setting back on, where the toggle button should be it says "Support for improving handwriting legibility will download when connected to WiFi." even though I am connected to WiFi. And, just so we're clear, all other WiFi related things work fine with the iPad. I am receiving emails. I can surf the web. My Apple Notes are syncing with my computer and phone via iCloud.


In an effort to remedy this I have done the following:

Turned WiFi off and back on.

Turned Airplane mode off and back on.

Quit out of Apple Notes.

Started a new note.

Restarted my iPad Pro (on two different occasions).


None of this has remedied the issue. I still see the same message. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this issue? As I said, this feature was working great until 2 days ago.
