Apple Watch Ultra 2 cellular setup error EDS 4014 on AT&T

During setup of new watch, when downloading eSim from paired phone get "Oops something went wrong...(EDS4014)"

watch works fine but when you click to enable cellular on the watch it says "No eSim"

Sounds like a backend problem at AT&T. AT&T support has supposedly raised a ticket to reset or release the eSim. Now I am getting a prompt to verify my Apple Account login but get a "verification failed" message. But I can log into my Apple Account on my PC Browser and Phone
