Android Auto suddenly not working

I have a 2016 Malibu LT 1.5T with the 7” my link infotainment and using a Samsung galaxy Note 8. I have been using android auto for months since I got the car with no issues, but suddenly one day I plug my phone in and I get the prompt to switch to android auto but it never actually pops up on the cars screen and my phone screen goes black for a second as if it’s going to switch but then goes back to the home screen and nothing else happens. I haven’t gotten a android auto app update, no phone update, and no setting changes to the car. I even tried another android phone and I get the same result. The only time I get it to mirror on the cars screen is by deleting the android auto app, plugging the phone into the cars USB port, and then following the steps to setup android auto as if it’s the first time using it. Even when doing that android auto still doesn’t perform properly and is very buggy. Anyone run into this issue or found a fix?
