#One phone reports presence, the other doesn't

I've been having issues with presence detection with two Google Pixel phones (a 6a and an 8), so I just cleared cache and data for both phones. The 6a continues to refuse to show presence, instead reporting Unknown, while the 8 reports Home. Both phones are sitting on my desk, at home, as I type this.
AFAICT, the App permissions are set identically:

  • Location (both currently show last accessed at 1843 local time) is Allowed all the time on both
  • The only permission denied on either phone is Car information since none of our vehicles have any sort of connected dashboard.
    Both are set to allow background battery usage

What else can/should I look at to determine why the 6a isn't reporting location?

However, the Pixel 8 doesn't show up in the "Home" circle on the map, so maybe it's not really correctly reporting and what I'm seeing (above) is just old data?
