Illustrator could only partially read this file

When I load the first attached file in 24.0.1 (with Windows 10) it loads OK and I can edit it. When I save it and try to reload it in 24.0.1 it says Illustrator could only partially read this file. That's awful when Illustrator cannot read a file it has just saved.

The layers (and sublayers) under ALL > WATERWAYS > A-B beginning with A have all gone missing when it reads in what it can. Other parts may be missing too.

It works fine in 23.1. and I have had to revert to using that.

I have lost a day's work as I kept saving my work in 24.0.1 at regular intervals but the following day none could be read back in and I had to revert to the previous day's backup which was saved in 23.1

The first file attached (y191125-1042 EAW 95) is one which loads OK into 24.0.1 and the second (x191130-2214 EAW 95) is the result when the first file is saved in 24.0.1 and which will not load back in.

Note the files are not attached as I don't want them to be public. I will provide them on request.

    this happens to me as well regularly. As a workaround I have stopped using the native AI container format completely and just save everything to pdf files.

    This keep happening to me. It doesn't matter whether the file is on DropBox or desktop. FIX THIS!
