Same EA account, Steam linked, Apex profile gone after Season17 Arsenal

My Steam account has ALWAYS been linked to this exact EA account. I have NO other EA accounts, I never manually unlinked / relinked Steam on EA account settings page.

I played Apex up until shortly after Season17 Arsenal (Ballistic legend released May 2023), then I quit the game. My old account level was not very high, I cannot remember the exact number. I purchased multiple battle passes on this profile.

When I returned in August 2025, launching Apex brings up a brand‑new level‑5 empty profile. All my old skins, battle‑pass rewards and progression are completely gone.

Two different EA live‑chat agents gave me conflicting conclusions:
1. First agent Sahil noticed that the current Steam‑EA binding database entry was regenerated at a later date, insisting I must have unlinked and re‑linked Steam in the past, which I never did.
2. Second agent Sanyam confirmed my Steam has been connected for a long time, and filed a bug report for backend investigation.

Important note:
I am NOT asking to transfer progress between two different EA accounts. My Steam never went to another EA email. I only hope my original Apex profile can be restored back inside THIS EA account

    Hey AshfiSHA​,

    We are not able to make any changes or discuss the full details of your account here on the forums, I'm afraid. If you're already in contact with support, continuing to work with them to check for any other potential account information or connections would be best.

    From what little I'm able to see here, the account you're posting with hadn't even launched Apex until well after Season 17, nor does it have any sign of battle passes from seasons up to that point at all. I understand you're saying you don't have another account, but do you have any other email addresses at all? If it's possible one may have been used in the past and you no longer have access, it would be worth checking that email or having support help verify and update the account if it's one you no longer have access to.
