I was using W11 before this boot, not sure if this is related. I logged out of cosmic and tried with plasma and it worked. When i relogged in cosmic, it still didn't worked.

Same issue running on arch since I installed cosmic. For me it was my bluetooth adapter being soft-blocked by rfkill by default somehow. You can check yourself with rfkill list. An easy workaround is simply unblocking it via rfkill unblock bluetooth. Everything worked flawless after that ^^

The blueman applet I was using before does not have this issue when I run it on cosmic. Glancing over their code it looks like they handle this case, so maybe this is worth looking into?

Seems that I have to do what @FlorianPallas describes above after every reboot.
