Grey or inactive can mean several things:

Note that having an "inactive" account is not the same as having a disabled account. If your account is disabled, see this article --> If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support
If an app or feature on your device is not working or is restricted, it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.
