[MCPE-226541] Multiplayer hosting stops immediately with error: 'There was a problem with your connection. Multiplayer hosting has stopped and will need to be restarted

Starting today (August 11, 2025), I can no longer invite friends to my world in Minecraft on Xbox.
The game shows an error: "There was a problem with your connection. Multiplayer hosting has stopped and will need to be restarted."
NAT is Open, UPnP is configured, and I can play other online games without issue.
This happens even in brand new worlds, after clearing cache, reinstalling Minecraft, and signing in/out.

Glad i’m not the only one! i even tried to remove my world and then add it back, thinking it was a bug in my world, but nope.
