Lost all calendar events on iPhone after iOS 18.5 update

I Updated my iPhone to 18.5 and my calendar events are completely gone. I have tried everything and contacted Apple multiple times. Right now, I am currently using an old device to see if I can use an older iCloud backup to get the events back. I tried one backup, and it didn’t work, so I am working on another older backup to see if that will work. If not, then I have no other options. There was no restore backup on iCloud.com for the calendar either; it seemed to have deleted as well. There was definitely a glitch in their recent update, as I have checked on Reddit, and Apple said a lot of users are contacting them about this. I use my calendar for everything, and it’s all gone.

I had this issue after updating to 18.5 but was able to get all my calendar events back by doing this:

settings - apps - calendar - calendar accounts - iCloud - iCloud calendar - use on this iPhone toggle off and back on.

right after doing so, all my old events populated again.
