This profile is not permitted to play online

Hello,

Just today, I got onto Apex Legends via Steam and was instantly welcomed with the message of "Profile is not permitted to play online - Retry". I have to wait a few seconds to retry and then I am able to enter the lobby.

However, once I get into a game, I start crashing - typically when I am in the dropship and throughout the entire game. The game freezes, but I am able to look around for around 10-20 seconds, then I am booted back to the main menu screen. I instantly reconnect but I usually encounter the same exact problem every 30 seconds or so as it varies. The error codes I get are either code:net or code:wheel. I also get the code:net error if I sit in the lobby long enough. I have no ban history and even tried on a different EA account and had the same issue. This has been recurring the whole day, and have tried many fixes such as changing the DNS, restarting my PC and game, verifying game files, etc.
