Clubs not working on ps5

I am having an issue with EA SPORTS FC 26 on PS5. Clubs does not connect and shows checking connection then unable to connect to EA servers. Ultimate Team is unstable and sometimes returns to the main menu while Seasons works every time. EA Connect works and I can see friends online. This is not an internet issue as I tested both home internet and a mobile hotspot. The FC Companion App works and friends in the same city or region on PS5 can play Clubs normally. This started after I changed my EA account password about two days ago. Before this I had occasional Ultimate Team login issues and Clubs freezing after matches. EA Help is not allowing live chat and there is no option to create a case so I am posting here to check if this is a backend or account specific issue.
