Creative Cloud App no longer syncs Libraries until manually unpaused

[The Keeper of the Garden]

Similarly to what is happening to LrC 13.0.1, which is no longer showing any "Sync to Lightroom (on the Web)" commands or icons for Collections that I want to sync after starting the app, when I start up Adobe's Creative Cloud App, although the Cloud icon is grey and not showing any "pause button" or "exclamation mark", Libraries are not being synced until I manually click on the corresponding command underneath the grey Cloud icon (in the upper right corner of the App). 

In short: There are serious issues going on with the Syncing of Libraries and of Collections (of Photos) in Lightroom Classic. 

The silence of Adobe staff is deafening since many days, although in the LrC community, at least 12 other people have upvoted my post.

Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
