Other users have also reported how their console is not recognizing the PlayStation Plus membership, but Sony on that has not yet made any statement.

For now, the official PlayStation account on Twitter did not comment on the situation. Some testimonies tell how it is still possible access the menus online of some games, such as FIFA 22, which would mean a functioning of the service. However, when proceeding to play an online game where you need to have the PlayStation Plus, a mistake prevents you from being able to connect to the match.
