I like how the down detector shows reports of the connection to bedrock realms API is resolved and then more folks keep reporting it - not a connection issue locally as we are on LAN with ethernet and can connect to other server games just fine. No point having realms if after an update to the game and launcher it no longer connects to realms. Fix the bedrock api issue so everyone can play. Also, try posting on X...sus that there's no posts on your X account about the issue that's been going on for over 4 hours.
