User from this ticket 8969050-zen added that this seems to affect the "Related Posts." I have also checked it, and I can see the issue. The "related posts" is also not showing the missing posts from the "All-time annual insights data."
I had a test with previously suggested possible solutions but haven't resolved it: pejTkB-1AX-p2#comment-1838.
