Ventura 13.5 iCloud Sync Issue - Numbers and Messages

[purp510MR]

Anyone experiencing iCloud sync issues with Numbers or Messages, with Venture 13.5 update? (I've been following the Location Services bug thread - have that too ). Device is a MBP16 M1 Pro. Numbers will open and (locally) save my updates to a shared spreadsheet (from my partner to me) but the changes are not updating anywhere else. When I quit Numbers, a warning pops up that sync is still in progress. Local changes to personal spreadsheets also do not sync, when I go to view them from the iPad or iPhone. Messages is no longer current with iMessage & SMS on my iOS devices. I signed out/in to Messages plus forced a "Sync Now" but no activity. Apple's status site shows iCloud Backup and Messages are green.

(Closed) Days later, each sync issue has seemingly resolved without further direct action (other than resolve Numbers version conflicts). Okay, Apple...

YES I am NOW having sync & all sorts of iCloud connection issues ..... thought it was okay at first, but actually there were iCloud issues w/ iCloud Drive and docs, now it's 'messages' app. Has anyone experienced and solved instead of waiting for it to fix itself (since it hasn't yet -- thanks apple! not.)

spinning on messages > settings > @iMessage not responding at all.
and can't send sms messages to androids.

Same here. Last sync yesterday. The day I upgraded to 13.5. Specifically iCloud Drive.

Same. iCloud Drive is also not syncing swiftly or reliably (I also had problems with Numbers). macOS 13.5.

I have been able to overcome the problem by rebooting into the maintenance screen and reinstalling Ventura from there. It still shows as Ventura 13.5, but now the messages app syncs properly with my iPhone and all the iCloud sync issues have gone.
