DA Veilguard - EA Link issues

I have tried resetting my internet, deactivating and reactivating my PS5, power cycling it so many times, and still, I am denied access and told it is a connection issue and that I am not linked to EA. I am. My EA account shows it is as linked. When I go to link the account, it tells me there is no internet connection. If I tell it to skip, there is no game data for me to pick back up on. It is like starting from scratch like I just got the game. 

What do I do? All servers say they are functional. I just want to finish my game. Even the Character Creator refuses to link and if I say skip, there are suddenly no created characters any longer. It is like I never had an EA account?? It was fine late last week...
