I disabled iCloud Family Sharing and all my cameras stopped recording

Cupertino, February 8, 2024

Hello everyone! I have about 10 Homekit Secure cameras at my house. Most are through Scrypted, but I also have a Eufy and a couple of Aqaras. I have the iCloud 2TB storage plan. I previously shared storage with Apple's iCloud Family Sharing, but recently turned off Family Sharing. I am the only member of Apple Home. I noticed today that I no longer get motion notifications on any of the cameras, and after checking them, none of them have recorded since I disabled family sharing on Monday. Like, cut hard - the last entries are all Monday afternoons. I haven't changed any settings; double checked a few cameras and they are set to record motion. I tried disconnecting all hubs at home until it said they were not available, then connected the Apple TV 4k Ethernet/Thread again, then tested walking next to a camera. AUTOMATING my house to trigger a warning light when there is motion STILL WORKS, but I have received no motion/people detection notifications and no new records. Live view all work, thumbnails work, camera names have red "record" icon after their name. Should I try something? I'm really trying to avoid wiping out the whole house and starting over, I have dozens of devices and automations.
