Why the songs I'm adding to a Apple Music I've created are dissapearing?

I have created a playlist on Apple Music (Mac BookAir with Apple Music Subscription, macOS Monterey). The playlist includes 21 hours of music. Last night I noticed that some of the songs I've already added are missing and I've spent the whole evening re-adding and adding more music. The playlist consisted of over 24 hours of music. Today I noticed that all of the songs I'd added yesterday where gone from the playlist and the running time was down to 21 hours. I have added one song to check if I still can add some more music and I literally saw the song disappearing from the playlist. All the songs I've added where searched and found in Apple Music catalogue, not my own local library. And most of them I have previewed before adding to the playlist so the are available on Apple Music streaming. Where is the problem?

MacBook Air (2018 – 2020)
