Players who select a private session are placed in a public one

Summary

On my published parkour map (Island Code: 0736-1280-3933), players who choose a private session are placed in a public one instead. Server sessions also stay alive for hours and eventually become unplayable. Changing the matchmaking settings several times did not fix it, and other developers report the same issue, so this seems to be a general problem.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the island with code 0736-1280-3933.
  2. Set matchmaking region to Middle East (ME) (since most players connect from this region).
  3. Select a private session.
  4. Press Play and check which session the player is placed in.

Expected Result

The player is placed in a private session.

Observed Result

The player is placed in a public session. Long-running sessions also become unplayable after a few hours. Changing the matchmaking settings multiple times did not change the behavior.

Additional Notes

Other developers are reporting the same problem, so it seems to be general and not specific to my island.
