Don't worry that your money is gone forever. In their known issues section, EA state: "Please do not be alarmed during this time, your purchased currency will correctly appear in your account as soon as we resolve these ongoing issues". That should at least offer some reassurance that your money hasn't been lost.
At this moment in time, there doesn't seem to be much we can do other than wait. And while this is deeply frustrating, the hope is that it won't be long before the issue is resolved.
While we wait, there is at least a little bit more information about what's causing this specific error. We'll cover that next.
What Is the Battlefield 2042 Coins Not Working Issue?
In terms of the error itself, there is an ongoing issue where players who purchase Battlefield Coins from storefronts are then unable to view those coins when they return to the in-game menu. This affects players who purchase via Origin, Xbox and PlayStation storefronts.
The error itself is linked to a Persistence Data Error, which is affecting all platforms. EA is working to restore all servers, but in the meantime, they recommend that if you are encountering this issue, your best course of action is to restart your game client. We've seen the Persistence Data Error before, and have more details here.
