Got it
Ok, to solve this problem you need to create a new Ad Account in your Business Manager.
There are no other fixes from FB right now. It's a common issue, but the only way to solve it - create a new Ad Account
Click here to do it - https://business.facebook.com/settings/ad-accounts

new ad account within which profile?

Your Business profile
Then try to connect again, the problem should be fixed
Keep me posted.

I set up the account. and now it says I cant create a custom audience until several weeks of following policies.

In that case, all you can do is wait a week or two before Facebook will take off this limit
Usually, one week is enough for them

Customer Replay

thanks for your help.

You too!
I’m glad I was able to get that sorted out for you. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Customer Replay

should i use ad manager from the business profile page or from the new meta business suite?

I recommend using it from the meta business suite. But in fact, they are almost identical
So, you can choose what is more comfortable for you

Customer Replay

ok thanks.
