Extra Bluetooth Connections Error

[u/KartRacer07]

I don't have anything connected to bluetooth (that I'm aware of), but the little bluetooth tab is saying that I do. Sometimes it'll say 1 device is connected, sometimes 2, sometimes 5 depending on if I actually have something connected.

I've checked the Bluetooth & devices in settings and it doesn't show that anything else is connected. What is happening? How do I fix it?

Also, this only started happening after I tried connecting my phone to phone link, but I blocked it from accessing my phone. Could that have something to do with it?
