This issue has only occurred recently as of 3/2/2025. Whenever I attempt to connect to my realm, the loading bar will stay static and after a couple of minutes, an error will appear saying to try again later. However, I can connect to my realm whenever another player is online, or when a player is attempting to load at the same time as I am. I can also connect if I was in the server and only disconnect very briefly. I imagine this has something to do with server loading, but it is only happening to me, the owner. I should also note that this is definitely not a hardware issue.

My realm owner also cannot access the realm anymore, attempting from windows they get a pop up saying their account needs authentication, yet they can play any other games with their Microsoft account and on the console, Xbox Series S, they get black and pink squares on all behaviour packs and when trying to load the realm, they get about half way and then it freezes with a black and pink screen.
Note: Not exclusively happening to owner, also happening to other players. The main issue seems to be that several people must attempt to load into the realm in order to get it to work.
