All of my worlds are currently saved to the cloud but my Xbox cannot access them therefore rendering them completely unplayable. Every single world. They also do not show up on IOS or other versions of bedrock signed into the same account.

What was the save weight in MB's?
Are you using any add-ons, and if so, please list them
Will the current 1.21.100.20 fix for this be able to lower world file sizes? My 5 year world has gotten up to 990 MB and does not sync with cloud anymore, and the file I had synced with cloud of the exact same world in March grew to 2.6GB and refused to update its cloud save ever again. All of my worlds were also stored in reserved space rather than my saved data file, which has caused a huge myriad of issues on my Xbox at large, even causing other games not to re-download save data.
Interestingly, this problem has also appeared for me specifically after my Xbox One X died in November and I got an Xbox Series X the following month. The “cloud sync failed due to quota”, however, has been around for over one year.
Note: changelog 1.21.100.20 says “Fixed an issue where Xbox cloud saves would grow excessively in size with each save. (MCPE-197900)”
@hacker1mc I don’t think so I think it fixes an issue where I my the cloud save file would go up in size and they were just junk files that would go away when you played the world because I’ve been having that issue

For anyone still scared of the future of your minecraft world, I am happy to inform you that I have a simple fix that will likely make your current world sync to the cloud once again, just like it used it. Not only that, but it will make your world size dramatically lower as well, and you also won’t have to wait for the update to come out either.
Disclaimer: If you can’t even enter your world, this method will NOT work. This method is only for people who have large worlds that only save locally but do not save to the cloud.
Buy a realms subscription. You don’t need a credit card or actual money. I used entirely just Microsoft rewards which is free, I saved up enough points, and purchased the $3.99/month realms subscription on xbox (not the $7.99/month one). This may take a few days or weeks to save up enough points, but it’s actually pretty easy to do and it is definitely worth it. You just need to download the Bing mobile app, sign in with your xbox account, and to get points, just click a few buttons and search stuff in the app every day. Eventually, redeem a $5 microsoft gift card when you have enough points. Then on xbox, just purchase the subscription with your free money.
Once you have a realms subscription, duplicate your large, only-saved-locally world on your xbox from the worlds menu. Then, go to the Realms tab > Settings and eventually you should find 3 empty worlds in your Realms (labeled ‘New World’). Click on any one of these, then click ‘Edit World’.
In the empty realm world’s settings, go all the way down until you see the ‘Replace World’ or ‘Upload World’ button. Click this, and choose your duplicated world from earlier when prompted.
Once uploading is successful, you should be happy knowing your world is protected in a seperate cloud now! But we’re not finished yet. So next, download your Realm world, and it will appear in your regular worlds list.
This is going to be the scariest part, but I promise, once you do this, your world will be syncing to the cloud again like normal. Go into your original world’s settings (not the duplicated world nor the realm world - I mean the original world that you’re always playing). Delete the world. This is going to be scary and weird, but trust me, I have this massive world for 4 years that I’ve played almost every day, and everything worked out fine for me. If you’re feeling skeptical, do what I did: Upload two versions of your duplicated world to Realms, then upload your original world as well. So this way you have plenty of backups. I also went into the downloaded Realm world to make sure everything was exactly the same as the original. It was, but I encourage you to also do the same, just to be sure before deleting your original world.
Rename your downloaded realm world to your old world’s name, because it will have a different name by default.
Play the downloaded realm world, and save the game like normal.
Your world should likely be saving to the cloud again!!! If not, do not panic - mine didn’t either. You might have to wait a few minutes or even restart minecraft for it to work. But eventually, you should be left with an uncorrupted, much smaller world that syncs to the cloud again like normal. Note that this will definitely not work unless you do step 5 - trust me, I tried.
Note that if anything goes wrong after step 4, don’t worry - your world is always in Realms, so you can just redownload your backup at anytime.
It’s also worth noting that this method will not work if you can’t even play your world. Unfortunately, you will likely have to wait until 1.21.100.20 releases in order to play your world again. But once you can eventually play it again, try the steps mentioned above to make your world much smaller and sync to the cloud again. This is a proven method that works, because my world went from 2.5 GB to 98 MB after doing this. I’m still not sure what causes this issue but it might be that hundreds of corrupted saves accumulate in the cloud and the game lacks any features to clean up the corrupted saves, so eventually the world gets too big and can’t sync anymore. Uploading to realms seems to refresh and clean up everything, then deleting your old problematic world frees up all that space in the cloud.
Additional note: This is the only method that worked for me. For months, I have tried everything I could to fix this problem, and this is the only thing that reliably worked. I truly wish the best for anyone who has this problem. Please give this method a try if you can. Have a great day!
I didnt work for me either. I will try. 1.21.101 but the anticipated 1.21.100 fix did not fix my world loading or the Xbox cloud issue at all. I even deleted the game saves from my Xbox to force the system to download my cloud saves again and got excited when I saw my Xbox running a huge download that took about 10 minutes on a very high speed connection (my game inflated from 1.4 to over 2 GB during this fiasco) but I was finally disappointed by the “Cloud Save Failed” coming up again after all the time spent with Mojang support and the promised fix I waited for.

I am having same issue on Xbox series X. I was able to plat 45 worlds on Xbox One with no problems but unfortunately it died, and I had to get the Series X. I have deleted 29 of my worlds and am down to 16 but still am unable to play. I even bought a different Series X hoping that the console was the issue.
