Cannot factory reset: "Checking the network, just a moment"

1.  Moved houses and brought my nest protect with me.
2. Deleted the devices from nest app and started a new house.
3. Added my doorbell and thermostat without problems.
4. Cannot add the Nest Protect in the app: "Something went wrong. This device (Hallway Nest Protect) can't be set up. Factory Reset this device by holding down the Nest button for 10 seconds. Then try setting it up again"
5. Followed the instructions here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9226486?hl=en#zippy=%2Creset-nest-protect-to-default-fa... but I never hear the version number, instead, after holding the button down for couple of seconds the Nest says: "Checking the network just a moment", eventually turns green and restarts. If I keep the button pressed for a lot of time pressed it eventually just beeps and tests the alarm.
6. If not connected via USB it will beep every minute.

Can you help please?

Having the exact same problem here, except started with beeping for new batteries. Won’t recognise new batteries so have plugged it in and getting the same messages 😞
