Why is my gmail email alias suddenly gone?

Question

I have been using an alias on my gmail business account for years. Today I tried to send an email from it and got back an error message:

You no longer have access to *****. To send this email, choose a different ‘from’ address and try again

If I try to send an email, this alias is listed in available from options. If I go into my account settings, it is still listed as an alias.

To clarify this is not an external email, it's an alias e.g. my main account is [email protected], the alias is [email protected]

What's going on? I use this alias almost as much as the main email address itself.

Are you the admin of your Google Workspace domain?

The typical fix that resolves this hiccup is to remove and re-add the address under "Send mail as".
