Whatsapp unable to link device

Earlier today my Whatsapp sign in stopped working and now when I scan the QR code produced by clawdbot providers login| from my phone I get a Unable to link device error.

Info:
- Using a dedicated second phone number (esim) from Lycamobile
- Clawd is running from a Hetzner VPS

Fixes tried:
- Relinking using QR code
- Waiting 3+ hours before retrying
- Deleted account from Whatsapp and re-added
- Scanned QR code from a different network

The only thing I can think of is that Whatsapp had blocked my VPS' IP for suspicious activity, but I thought I'd ask before attempting a different VPS server.
