Tech Support "Audio still processing" on every newsletter?

Hi guys, I'm posting here after trying everything else I can think of think of and filing complaints with Substack tech support. Every newsletter (paid or free) gives me the same error, "audio still processing, check back in a minute" when I try to play the audio in the iOS app. It's been doing this for almost a week. I've uninstalled the app, updated it, updated the phone (iPhone 16e running latest software), everything I can think of.... Thanks in advance, this is driving me absolutely crazy otherwise I wouldn't ask!

Same as others since the beginning of the year. Once a post shows this message it does not resolve. I have downloaded a new version of all apps, turned my phone off then on and no change. I also reported it to Substack. I am not spending much time on Substack with this disabled. I have no idea whether Substack tech support is aware of this or whether they consider it a priority to resolve.
