Unable to Connect to Realms

This is the fourth or fifth time since the update where other players and myself have not been able to connect to my realm. I have followed all troubleshooting suggestions and it is still not working. From what i have seen lots of other players have been having the same issue on their realms lately as well. I myself cannot even connect to my own realm. everytime anyone tries it says "Unable to Connect to Realm." I understand having such a large update causing issues here and there but Its a little absurd that im paying for my realm just to not be able to play on it half the time.
