Contacts deleted

I have an 8+ and for some reason my contacts keep getting deleted over night or while I’m on my phone. This started happening a few days ago and I was able to save the contacts again but they were removed once again, like it never saved at all. It’s not removing all my contacts just some. My phone is up to date. Why does this keep happening?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
What is your default Contacts Account?
Which email account you are using to store Contacts?

See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account

This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
