For some unknown reason, my phone is deleting my contacts, one at a time randomly.

I have this exact problem as well. Started in mid-January 2022. Contacts disappear one at a time. I use my iCloud account for contacts and confirmed that the contacts toggle is off for other mail accounts. Nobody else is using that iCloud account for contacts. I was able to recover contacts from a backup and that seemed to help, until today when I see that I've lost a few more.
