iOS 13.1.2 iMessage not activating

After updating to iOS 13.1.2 iMessage has been stuck on "waiting for activation." I try to sign in and it says that it cannot connect to the iMessage servers.

Anyone else having this issue? I've tried restarting the app, hard restart, toggling the iMessage switch, and various combinations of the mentioned.

Edit: Using an iPhone 6S Plus

Edit 2: I got tired of waiting for Apple engineers. I just reinstalled the update and restored from iCloud and it worked again.

I've been working with Apple advisors via their support app and they have yet to figure it out. I'll update if they figure it out.
