Find My Phone no longer working

Find my phone used to work fine. Now find my phone seems to have stopped working.

Venu 3 is on SW Version 17.01. Phone is a Pixel 8a on Android 16.

If I do the following 

1. On watch start find my phone,

2. Nothing happens on phone.

3. On phone open up the garmin connect app then phone starts ringing and flashing.

Permissions on the phone app haven't changed, it still seems to have permissions to run in the background.

Is this another feature like the assistant and on watch phone calls, that was once great but is now useless.
