Four times I have built a playlist with as many as 204 songs only to have the app delete the total down to 99. The second time when I built it to 204, I was very meticulous adding songs at a dozen a time ensuring I would hit the done button and logging down each total. The next morning, the list was down to 99.

Hi Tackleberry,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're missing many of your playlists and it's only showing you 99 of them. We'd like to assist. Are you running the latest version of iOS, 14.7.1? Are you an Apple Music subscriber? If so, have you tried disabling Sync Library and then enabling it again in Settings > Music.
Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music
We look forward to learning more about your issue.
Take care.
Yes, I gave the latest iOS as of a couple days ago. No, I don’t subscribed to Apple Music. Historically I have chosen to manage my music manually, however, today the device stopped allowing me to drag and drop new music over to my phone, so out of desperation, I chose to sync, then it appeared to not upload all the songs due to inaccurate information in the bar at the bottom. I went back to doing it manually and at the moment it appears the playlist is no longer any songs from a couple hours ago, so maybe that was the fix.
Do you know what would cause my ability to drag and drop out of the blue? Been using that method for about 15 years.
Hi Tackleberry,
We're glad to hear you've found a workaround. If you were only momentarily unable to drag and drop, but it's working now, it's hard to say why this occurred. In those instances, just restarting the app or computer can help. If you do try the syncing method again, these articles can help:
Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer
Sync music between your Mac and iPhone or iPad
Take care.
