Bedrock Realms Not Working Again

Realms are not working yet again. You get all sorts of errors when trying to connect. “Reals is not available right now.” Sometimes it loads the realms list, then you can select yours, it’ll load, then say that it can’t connect. Other times, it starts loading the realm, then kicks you and gives error code 5. Why do we pay for this service if it’s always down? Down detector shows that so many people are unable to connect.
