Did you create a new ID and use that to sign in or do an email address change on your existing Apple ID? If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID. You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
