Sidecar not connecting, device timed out...

I have a new iPad Air (4th Gen) trying to connect with my Macbook Pro 2017 on Big Sur... Display is not connecting and request times out.

They are on the same Wifi network, have bluetooth enabled (although the devices wont connect to each other, but show under My Devices), have Handoff enabled, and am logged in under the same Apple ID with 2FA.

I’ve tried restarting the devices, toggling settings, and resetting network settings... I've tried all of the above connected with a USB-C and also unconnected.

The iPad is set as a Trusted device via Finder when plugged into my Macbook. Not sure what else I can do.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Fixed it by logging out of my Apple ID on both the Mac & iPad, logged back in and it connected~

Logging out of my AppleID on my Macbook and iPad also fixed the Device timed out problem.

I have the same issue, signed out of my Apple ID and restarted both devices to no avail. Latest OS too for both devices.
