Google Assistant SDK now unable to answer basic questions

I was trying to use Google Assistant Service to embed a Google Assistant on my device and it was working very very well. However, after I seemingly changed nothing, it seems that the Google Assistant lost most of its capabilities.

I tried following the instructions for Google Assistant Library (the python one) as well, using a brand new project, and was able to set up the assistant successfully, however, even this unmodified google library is having the same issue. Anything beyond a simple question like "who am I" or "who are you" results in "I'm sorry, I don't know how to deal with that".

It's important to note here (and why this is so weird) that it is actually recognizing what I say. Here's an example of the terminal output from running G. A. Library:

   ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_STARTED
ON_END_OF_UTTERANCE
ON_RECOGNIZING_SPEECH_FINISHED:
  {"text": "who won the World Cup"}
ON_RESPONDING_STARTED:
  {"is_error_response": false}
ON_RESPONDING_FINISHED
ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_FINISHED:
  {"with_follow_on_turn": false}


ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_STARTED
ON_END_OF_UTTERANCE
ON_RECOGNIZING_SPEECH_FINISHED:
  {"text": "who am I"}
ON_RENDER_RESPONSE:
{
  "text": "To get you that information, I'll need your permission. You can give it to me in the Google Assistant settings on your phone. Once that's done, ask me again!",
  "type": 0
}
ON_RESPONDING_STARTED:
  {"is_error_response": false}
ON_RESPONDING_FINISHED
ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_FINISHED:
  {"with_follow_on_turn": false}

As you can see, it recognizes what I say, but doesn't actually recognize basic questions.

Similar questions to "who won the world cup" that do not work that did work before include "who is elon musk" or "tell me who won the stanley cup". And again this seems to still happening with a fresh Google Assistant Library install, having made a new project and refollowed the installation instructions.

I guess it could be a google permissions-related thing? Does anyone have any guesses?

It turns out activity controls were disabled. After reenabling them, it still did not work so I created a new google account and it worked fine.
