Shared Maps location offline

My father has a pixel 7 and recently cleared the storage for his play services app. I am trying to help him fix it.

His maps app for location sharing claims it is sharing, but everyone else sees him as offline.

I have tried rebooting, removing the account entirely, clearing maps storage, signing out of all sessions via the browser

Turning location services off and on. Stopping sharing then resharing. A completely different account entirely, nothing is allowing his phone to share the location.

Any ideas of other things to try? I know I've tried a few more but I'm running out of ideas
