Bluetooth frequently autoconnects to my headphones but UI doesn't update correctly

Help

I’ve noticed this is becoming more and more of a problem since this is happening more frequently.

It displays the battery status under my headphones which obviously only happens under devices that are connected. But the issue is the button says connect and when I click it, it just loads for a minute and stops without doing anything. This just happened after I booted up my machine this morning.
Other than that, audio is able to play from my headphones as normal but I can’t disconnect it or connect to some other device without having to manually restart the bluetooth service which only temporarily fixes it with the ui.
This is an issue that never happened with Plasma 5 so I’m assuming it is some sort of bug introduced with Plasma 6.

Can you please open Konsole and run bluetoothctl devices and copy the output to here?

Yes sure thing!

Can you show the output of bluetoothctl info <MAC-ADDRESS-OF-Soundcore> ?

Well, it is obviously connected. I understand that the Bluetooth widget does not show the device as connected when bluetoothctl info shows that it does?

Yes that’s the issue since I prefer to use the widget over cli. The widget also goes out of sync with the connection status when I let it idle for 15min or more.
