Library has stopped synching

For years, I have managed my Apple Music library on my Mac but mostly played music using my phone. I would add or delete songs from playlists and that changes would be immediate when I looked at the playlists on my phone. There would be a delay--often overnight--for the play counts of songs played on my phone to appear in the Mac library, but that was not a problem. But for a few weeks now, synching between my Mac and phone has completely stopped. When I delete songs from a playlist they remain there on my phone, etc. I have tried hitting the "update library" command, but nothing works. I have another authorized device, at my office, and I can add/delete items to the playlists there and have the changes show up on my phone, but that is much less convenient. I hope someone has a solution I can try? Many thanks-0

Update: After posting yesterday, I tried something I had tried before--to go into Preferences and uncheck the box that says "Synch Library". Probably the first time I had unchecked and checked fairly quickly, but this time I left it alone for several hours before putting the check back, then left it alone for a couple more hours while it synched. And that seemed to work--after I had done that, I made some changes to playlists--adding, deleting, and changing the play order of songs--and all the changes immediately showed up on my phone. However....this morning, I'm back to square one. Changes I make on the Mac Library are again not showing up on my phone.
