Realms not saving when I exit game

Ever since 1.16 and 1.16.1 update, I am losing progress when playing realms.  It seems to not be saving progress when I exit. It seems like when I leave and go back in immediately, it will reload where I left off.  When I log in the next day, I have lost either some or all of my progress from the last day.  I've never had this issue in the past.

 

Day 1 after update played for about 3 hours.

Day 2 logged in and noticed I lost about the last 30 minutes of play time (still had things in my inventory etc, no big deal but it was noticeable). Played for about 4 hours day 2.

Day 3 logged in and nearly all of the 4 hours of play from the prior day was gone.

 

Never had any issues with Realms before.  Not sure what's going on.
