When making a beacon up on land and digging downward to use the beacon effect undergraound it faded away and I was unable to use it.
I stayed in the beacon's max x and z-axis' but lowering myself downward on the y the effect was gone.

I understand that it has a limited range (hence the "I stayed in the beacon's max x and z-axis'") but I was unaware that they made the y-axis variable. I remember back in 1.12 using beacons up on the surface as high and as low as I wanted and even saw one of Xisumavoids myth buster videos about how the Y did not matter and had no range.
If this was a change that I jsut never realized than it's my bad, but if not it's a bug.
When you make a beacon and activate an effect, the effect has a certain range. If you made a level one pyramid, then you could be up to 20 blocks away without the effect wearing off. Level two, 30. Three, 40. And finally four, with 50 blocks away. It effects any axis, even "Y." Hope that resolved your issue.
