I reported my issue separately (which has been closed as a duplicate of this), but to sum up what I've had:
Since the 1.17.30/1.17.31 update, my realms map (which was created over a year ago without experimental features) has become more and more unstable, with weird lag spikes and bits of progress loss getting pregressively more frequent until eventually no one can log in. I tried reverting the save a few times, but it just happens again over a number of hours. When I tried downloading copies of the world to run locally, the older ones (which I I reverted to) ran fine, but the newer, corrupt one's would crash the game either whilst loading, or after a half a minute or so of the game running (I'm running all these files locally on an Xbox Series X). I also noticed that the corrupt file has grown by around 100mb vs the older (hopefully) non-corrupt one (from around 200mb to around 300mb), which seems like a lot for a few hours of play time from two people. I last had this issue (before giving up) on 26/09/2021 (I'm in the UK).
I've since started a new save (using caves and cliffs experimental) on the realm until this issues fixed, and so far (after a couple of days of use) it appears fine. But I see this save as temporary until the old one can be used again, as a lot of time has gone into it.
I have exactly the same problem, a fairly small map I created last year and currently have on realms suddenly started having it's file size balloon after the last update. The game becomes more and more glitchy over a number of hours until people can't log in anymore. Reverting the save just repeats the process.
bruh if you're not saving it of course something might go wrong
My realm appears to be working now. A couple of days ago (after the overnight update around Wednesday) I started it up and the save was still completely unplayable. I reverted to a save from before the issues, and it's now been working since. Should be noted the save I reverted to would eventually go wrong before, so it looks like some of the recent updates fixed the trigger of my issue at least. Also, my save file is no longer huge when I download it, so for my issue, downloading some saves and seeing how big they get may be an indicator on whether you have problems with your save (before the saves would grow by around 100mb over a few hours, now it's fixed I've seen it grow by around 5mb over a couple of days).
The realm has crashed and reverted by a few minutes a few times since it started working, but I'll take that over it being completely unplayable at the moment.
