Steps to reproduce the issue:
Step 1: Get your world file (preferably an older world file with any kind of data on it at this point).
Step 2: Click Minecraft Realms on the Title Screen
Step 3: Click on your Minecraft Realm and hit Configure on the bottom middle of the screen
Step 4: Hit Reset World and Upload Existing World
Step 5: Click on your desired world file from Step 1 and attempt to upload it!
Step 6: After 100% (and seeing that your network usage upload drops to 0% in task manager), world validation begins.
Expected Result:
The world file uploads and you can play it on your Minecraft Realm server
Actual Result:
-Upload Failed! (401)
The world file is still very functional in single player with no issues,
This is an ongoing issue now for me since the end of 2024.
