Well I ended up upgrading my phone to a pixel 9 and it works fine now. I bet if I factory reset the phone and redid the whole thing there might have been a chance that it would have fixed itself but I never got around to trying that. What I did get around to trying was going to that support link... That was the craziest round Robin I have ever been in everybody kept transferring me to a different department. Not kidding I was transferred seven times. And you know what the ultimate response was at the end of that journey? They told me to talk to Fitbit support. I tried to have as much patience as I could but I am thankful that I traded my old phone in and I don't have to try to figure it out. Good luck to anyone else out there on a pixel 8 pro having the same exact issue. Maybe try a factory reset of your phone first before you try to jump through the support hoops.
