Play count no longer sync

For the past few days, the play count on Apple Music no longer works. Also, the recently played songs are also not sync between my iPhone and my Mac. If I add new Music, it does sync without any problem.

New iPhone 15 Pro will not update Play Count in Apple Music I recently upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro and now my Play Counts have stopped syncing between my devices. When I listen to a song on my iPhone, it does not show up as played on my MacBook Pro. I see that other users are also reporting this issue since installing IOS 17 which clearly has a bug. This is frustrating as I use smart playlist that reference the "Last Played" as well as "Play Count" information which is not syncing anymore. I have also spent more than 3 hours chatting with Apple Support who has not been able to resolve this issue yet. I am hoping by reporting this, it will help prioritize a fix for this issue in one of the next release updates.

Why don't play counts update? This is not about syncing devices, before you jump to that conclusion. I play a song on my Mac and it doesn't even show as played on that device. Every song I have imported since February 2022 has supposedly never been played. What is going on with Apple Music?

It seems to be working again, after updating to iOS 17.2 / macOS 14.2.
