After multiple attempts to re-upload a local world back to the realm plus subscription, I now have 3 subscriptions and still not able to play my world.
Minecraft Windows 10 Edition (bedrock) v1.16.210
I feel like this was working just previous update - I wonder if something got introduced that broke realms with larger worlds (100mb+).
Note, I took one of the random worlds created with one of my new subscriptions, played with it locally for a bit, and re-uploaded it (replaced world). That time it worked - because the world is only 4.5 mb.
Here is the link to my bug report: [ Ссылка ]
This was closed as "duplicate" - I made the report because another bug report was on another platform.

The game devs do have the option to close the bug as "won't fix" if the world is too large - but I haven't seen any documentation stating a size limit and the fact this bug remains open means this is a legit issue they want to fix but just seem unable to do so.
My current recommendation is to start and play worlds on a realm server with the understanding that downloading is really only as a backup and for continuing to play the world after the subscription has ended. Downloading the world for offline play and re-uploading seems to be just broken or at least very unreliable.
I have since terminated all my subscriptions until Mojang/Microsoft can address this issue. My kids have expressed interest in starting a new world once 1.18 drops with the new generation/world size updates - which are going to be drastic enough to kindle interest in starting anew - at that point, I may consider restarting my subscription, or perhaps, trying out running a personal server (which is currently in "alpha" release state).
