Right after 1.21.20 was released I attempted to join my realm but was brought to a stop by a message saying "We could not connect to Realms right now. We will try again later." I asked others if they were also having the problem and they were as well. No one I know can join realms or even access the realm stories. In the process of writing this message I get a new error saying "Unable to connect to realms"

This is also happening to me as well. I have an SMP (survival multi-player) with me, my friends, and my Discord community. And ever since the update, it wonβt load.
