ios 14.6 Downloaded Music Keeps Disappearing

Anyone else having an issue with downloaded songs continually disappearing from ITunes after the 14.6 update? I decided to delete all of my downloaded songs so I could download lossless versions and I have repeatedly downloaded playlists only to find that the downloaded copies suddenly disappear from the phone. After downloading I check the amount of space used and I had reached a point where I had approximately 12 GB. Then I switched ITunes to show downloaded music and 90% of the tracks that I had previously downloaded were gone. I go back to check the space used and it then shows I've got 175 MB used. Where did all of the music go?

Oh...BTW, I didn't notice that my music settings were somehow toggled to download over cellular, so suddenly I got cellular data overage notifications showing all of my data for the month was used up and I got nailed for additional data charges.

Needless to say I'm am not happy....ready to jump to Android people....this is not cool!

I've had the same problem, it's happened several times in the last month and I'm really getting angry - more than 10k songs that I download onto my device because I don't want to be using data all day every day (especially considering that I live in an area with spotty service), and it keeps wiping it. It always seems to happen when connected to CarPlay - it doesn't happen every time I connect to CarPlay, which I probably do at least once a day, but every time that it's happened, it's been when I'm in my car and about to start a long drive; tunes won't play, I look at my phone and the Music screen is just white, and then I lose all my downloaded music.
