Version 1.20.81.01 will not connect to realm

My Kindle fire just updated Minecraft to version 1.20.81.01 and now I cannot connect to my Realm, "Unable to connect to Realm. Failed attempting to join realm. Please try again later."
This has been happening for hours.
My laptop running windows 11 and Minecraft 1.20.80 connects fine.
I restarted everything recommended with no difference.
Prior to the update my Kindle fire connected fine.
