erorr while trying to link accounts

i have an apex legends account linked to my ps4 a long time ago i wanted to go back and play the game so i needed to link the psn account to my current ea account which has been created in 2024, the psn account was previously linked to an ea account created in 2016 that i have the access for but this account is not my main so i wanted to unlink the psn account from there and link it to my main account , after talking the support and successfully unlinking my psn account from my old 2016 account he tells me that i cant access my progress because any accounts that have been created before 2023 october cant access this feature , after that he changed and said after that date which made me disappointed bc now i cant play the game on my account and i need to wait 6 months to relink which just kills it

    Hey ahmadhija2223​,

    Just to clarify the situation, any time you unlink your account there is a possibility to permanently lose your progress.

    Progress is stored on the EA account level, not on individual platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, etc. This means if you link your platform to a different EA account, you'll lose access to that progress and it will appear to have reset. Progress cannot be moved between different accounts.

    If you played on PS4 in the past and were hoping to keep that progress moving forward, you would need to use your original EA account. Linking the PSN to the new account will not bring over any of that content - instead you'll be using whatever progress has been made on the new EA account.

    We are not able to make any changes to your account status or progress via the forums, but if something was linked or unlinked incorrectly it may be worth reaching back out to support to see if the original platforms can be re-linked instead.
