When i changed my display name, it did not transfer over my character to the updated account. I had sent myself a link from the character page and it says i cannot access it as the setting was flipped to campaign only. I hadnt joined the campaign yet when this occured, so now im effectively locked out of my character. I built a psuedo one to get me by for a night, but would love to access the one i spent a couple hours building. Can anyone help with this?
My old account name was Lapernicus8be5115727 (auto generated), adjusted now to Lapernicus.
How did you change your account name? The only way I'm aware of is to ask in the thread about it, and your account has only one post and joined yesterday.
It looks to me like you have managed to create a new account. The other account certainly still exists. If you sign in using the same method (google, apple, wotc account) that you used to access the old account before, you could join the campaign with both accounts, unassign the character with the old account, and claim it with the new.
If you've managed to create two accounts with the same sign-in method (which shouldn't be possible, but I've seen people asking for help because it did), only support can help you, and support are backlogged like you wouldn't believe at the moment, making it vastly quicker to just recreate the character.
Yeah I’m pretty sure it made 2 accounts with the same sign in method. After I finished creating my first character, I signed in the exact same way on my laptop to make sure everything looked good and what do you know, my name dropped all the random numbers, but my character was gone. In fear of that I sent the link to my character screen to myself thinking that would be just fine, but the setting was set to campaign only and since I hadn’t joined a campaign or did anything after finishing my character, I fear he’s stuck in limbo until I can get support to help.
thanks for the responses, I’ll have to see if I can get support to assist!

One thing I would suggest is that you add an additional sign-in method to whichever account you can access. (very first tab on the "my account" page)
It'll give you the ability to access that account regardless of what's going on with the overlapping sign-in method. If you can manage to get two separate sign-in methods on both accounts, you could unlink the duplicated one from both of them and, if you haven't purchased things on both, you can probably then untangle it yourself.

Get invited back to the campaign, or copy the invite and send it to yourself as a message
anyway, jump back into the campaign and then claim the character, delete the second character you used to access the game
Get the dm of the campaign to unassign it if needed then claim it back
