Files missing from icloud drive

Has anyone confirmed their files once on iCloud Drive have mysteriously been lost.

I can't confirm my files are being lost, but this is the third time I can't find a file that was believed to be on iCloud. I did the restore file function in iCloud and files still not there.

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.15
