After the last update for Stellaris (3/14 or 3/15), my Xboxes are not syncing their saved data anymore. If this is a known issue and there is a solution, please post the link to the appropriate thread so I can read it.

If not, here are some additional details and thanks in advance for your assistance:

1) I have an Xbox One X and an Xbox Series X in my household. I mostly play on the newer model, but as this a multi game household, I have to move to the older Xbox sometimes.
2) Both Xboxes have the same setups for Stellaris (same DLCs, expansions, etc.) and are fully updated with the current versions.
3) Until the last major patch, I could switch between consoles, log into my Xbox profile and start Stellaris. A little time would go by and the message would go up that it was syncing the data and then it would be complete, no problem.
4) After the last patch, now it tries to sync, but throws up the error (and it doesn't matter which Xbox I am on) and it says "Your other Xbox console is taking a long time to sync to the cloud" It will keep throwing that error message up no matter how many times I hit "try Again". Only choice that works to move on is "Sync last saved data"
5) One other behavior that has changed has to do with when either Xbox times out ( Both Xboxes are running in "sleep" mode) while Stellaris was running: Usually, I would just start back up my Xbox and it would jump right back into my game (saved or not) Now I have to completely restart the game and load in a saved game (which tells me Stellaris is shutting down once the Xbox goes to sleep).
6) My in-home wireless network is the same as it was before - no setting changes. I run off an Eero Pro 6.
7) I have been playing Stellaris pretty exclusively over the past several months, but I did test No Mans Sky between both consoles and everything synced up.

While typing this, I also have Surviving the Aftermath on both consoles, so I will test that game out and see if the Consoles sync up

Thanks

As a follow-up, I successfully synced Surviving the Aftermath between both Xboxes. It is fairly clear now that since both a Paradox and third party game sync fine, that the problem is within Stellaris.
 
Apparently one has to wait a while to see some movement on this. It would be nice to at least get a reply "Hi. We saw your tech support post. Due to a massive work load we might get back to you in a month or so". That way I won't need to check each day with the false hope/expectation that someone may actually read these or even look to address this.
 
Sorry for the delay, I was on leave.

But this is not really a tech support issue - there is nothing you or I can do to the console edition to make it sync. Please post it in Console Bug Reports if not there already.

No worries and thanks for the reply.
I just wanted to make sure it was not a settings issue before assuming it is a bug. In light of all the other posts popping up about minor and major issues post the last update, something was clearly changed that broke all these things.
