Has anyone had problems with their QuickBooks direct debit not being taken for Jan 1st 2023?

It's great to have you here in the Community, @kgstockwell1-aol,

I'm here to help and get you back to business. Incorrect bank information or insufficient funds might cause bank payment transfers and direct debits to fail.

I have steps we can do to work around this issue, here's how:

To start, we'll need to figure out where the failed payment is in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account:

1. In your QBO account, go to the +New menu.
2.  Select Bank deposit or Record bank deposit.
3. Review the QuickBooks Payment section.
4. Look for the payment on the list. If you see it, it isn't deposited yet. If you don't, it is deposited.

If the direct debit is indeed rejected, you can visit this article for detailed steps: Handle a rejected or failed bank transfer payment.
