cannot access icloud drive on web after approving access on another device

On my Mac Air M3 laptop, I logged in at iCloud.com via Safari, then clicked the Drive icon. Got a message saying I needed to approve Drive access and that an approval request was being sent to other devices. I received that approval request on my Mac Air M3 laptop and iPhone 15 Pro. After approving (I tried approval two times, first on my laptop, then on my phone), nothing changed on the Safari screen. I tried multiple times, eventually now I just get a message saying access was not approved and it's no longer sending approval requests.
