More Than One Blue-Tooth Device Connected?

Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well. Subject is pretty accurate. I'm wondering if there is a way to tell how much data is being transferred--as well as how fast or slow--between my Mac and iPhone and any of my blue-tooth devices. Somebody on an email list recently suggested low data as a possible cause for me being unable to connect my NLS eReader successfully via blue-tooth or USB to my Mac and/or iPhone. In addition, I attempted to connect my blue-tooth headset to my Mac a couple days ago and was unable to do so. This has worked flawlessly before. I had just fully charged the headset prior to this attempt. Any help greatly appreciated. I guess I am also curious to know how many blue-tooth devices can be connected/in use at a given time. A neighbor and I were sharing a single wi-fi connection for several years, but he recently got his own wi-fi so we don't need to share anymore.

HI, so I've had up to 6-7 devices attached to my computer and up to 5 on my iphone or ipad. I am not sure how to check your latency. I've never had issues with the bluetooth on my mac. have you searched on the internet if there are ways to do a full reset on your bt drivers on your computer?

Here is what bard.google.com has to say:

There are a few ways to check latency on a Bluetooth device on an iPhone. One way is to use the AudioLatencyChecker app. This app will measure the latency between the time that audio is played on your iPhone and the time that it is received by your Bluetooth device.

Another way to check latency is to use the LatencyTest app. This app will play a series of tones and measure the time it takes for each tone to be received by your Bluetooth device.

Finally, you can also check latency by using the Terminal app. To do this, open the Terminal app and type the following command:

Code snippet
adb shell dumpsys audio latency

This command will output a list of all of the audio devices that are connected to your iPhone, along with their latency.
