Friend Online Indicator and notifications not working

I am having an issue with the friends online indicator icon in the EA app. I can be online in the EA app with my friends simultaneously, and the online indicator icon will remain grayed out as if they are offline, it will not show a green icon that they are online in the EA app. I also don't get notifications when my friends logon to the EA app anymore. This behavior carries over to EA games, such as Battlefield 6, when I can't tell if they are online, no green icon and no notifications when they login to the game. However, they can see my online indicator icon and can invite me into a party within a EA game. I can see the friend list though, its just grayed out all the time now whether my friend are online or not. I can't tell anymore.
