Sync stops working randomly and cannot be restarted without new sync chain. (Bookmarks no longer syncing, send to device no longer working reliably either.)

Yes, issue is not fully resolved yet.

We increased the number of stored objects on the server to 75000, and decreased the expiration period for the History entry on the server from 90 days to 60. Tasks in progress are P3A metric for History objects count and make server to support History Delete Directives.

It looks 75k objects limit is not enough for 90 days for some users.

@HalJor, do you know how many items in history do you have on your most used device?
If this is a computer, you can check it with

  1. Open page brave://inspect/#extensions
  2. Click inspect under Brave extension
  3. Paste to the console
chrome.history.search({
  'text': '',
  'maxResults': 200000,
  startTime: 0
},
function(historyItems) {
   console.log('historyItems.length=',historyItems.length)
})

It may ask permission for code paste, then type by the instruction.
