Minecraft Bedrock Realms are not saving like they should and hours and hours of progress is resetting to the last time the sever was able to save successfully. This seems to be happening on the sever side because multiple people with different wifi connection are running into the same problems. This problem can be resolved for about a day if I manually force a save for the realm. After that the problem arises again and again.

The same is happening to me on my bedrock realm, i’ve been doing the same workaround you are and it’s tedious: to have to keep replacing the world with a back up copy.
