Office 365 Outlook Task Categories Disappearing

Split from this thread.

I'm having the same issue over the last few days.  Randomly some task categories disappear, but not all. 

I checked my Outlook client and there are no COM Add-ins to disable.  

I do have my Office 365 Outlook tasks go to my iPhone, however I don't do anything with them there.  I did disable the "reminders" in the iPhone Exchange sync, just to take it out of the equation.

    Just for what it's worth - I have now turned reminders back on on my iPad and no problem yet.  So it seems like this problem is restricted to iPhone.

    I agree, it only seems to be the iPhone.  I have reminders sync on my iPad and my MacBook with no problems - but when I switch it back on with the iPhone, categories disappear at 9:00 the next day for anything due on that day.  And to pick up on some earlier posts asking if Microsoft have acknowledged the issue, I really think this is an Apple problem (specifically with iPhone iOS 13 onwards) not a Microsoft problem, but I can't see anywhere in the Apple community where it is being discussed.  I raised a feedback item with Apple months ago but without any response.  With every iOS update I switch reminders sync back on with the hope that the problem has been fixed, but no luck so far...

    I couldn't find where I'd posted originally (I think I filled in a bug report) so I've started a new thread here:
