After rebooting my phone (android 12) all widgets became invisible or started showing "loading"/"widget unavailable" messages. Does anyone know how to solve this?

have you tried turning it off and on again again again?
- I tried twice, once with the reboot option and once powering it off for some minutes to let it rethink its life choices. Needless to say that it didn't work.
I have already tried without success to:

Re-add the widgets (it has worked with two of the loading widgets, but not with the others)

Clear the cache

Re-Reboot

Uninstall and reinstall the problematic apps

August 20 update: the problem seems to have solved itself by just waiting?
Since I last commented on this post I haven't rebooted my phone or attempted to re-add my widgets. Today I tried again, just to see if something has changed, and they actually loaded after a few seconds. I suppose it's fine like that.
I had a phone do that once, turns out the phone casing was pressing thebvolume button and my phone booted in safe mode wich disable installed apps.
- But in that case I wouldn't be able to use any app, would I?
  
  No only system apps.
Have you tried reinstalling the relevant apps?
- I prefer to keep it as plan Z since there would be many password recoveries and backups (and hope that I can also backup settings) to do. If I haven't solved it in a couple of days, I'll try that.
  
  Edit: I tried to uninstall an app that needed no backup, but the widget is still invisible. Also, some system apps' widgets don't work either and I can't uninstall those.
Just wondering, are you using the stock launcher, or 3rd party...?
- Stock
