Apple Intelligence stuck downloading for weeks on ipad with no toggle button

Probably about a month ago, I decided to turn apple intelligence on for my iphone, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro. It turned on for all my devices except my ipad, which has been stuck looking like this since I hit the toggle button on. Intelligence does not seem to be working on my ipad, while it does on other devices. For example, when I open playground on my ipad, it says that apple intelligence is required and takes me to settings to turn it on, where it just looks like this. When I use siri, it activates the previous siri bubble in the bottom of the screen rather than the colorful ribbon around the edge of my device. I cannot figure out how to get it to show a toggle button again or quit downloading. I have restarted my ipad more than once.

For reference, I have an iPad Pro 13 inch M4 running on IOS 18.3.1.

I'm not sure that my WiFi is 6E as I don't see that anywhere in the information about my network. I turned Intelligence on on all my devices at the same time in my own home on my private network. This iPad does not have cellular connectivity, only WiFi connectivity. Additionally, I have tried using my phone hotspot instead, and have made sure to have my iPad connected to power.

I forgot to mention this initially, but when I first updated my software when Apple Intelligence was released, it turned on on my iPad with no problem, then I decided to briefly turn it off because I wasn't sure about using it. Only later when I decided to turn it back on, probably 2 weeks after I turned it off did I have this current problem.
