Custom Instructions disappeared?

About a week ago, I stumbled on the Settings -> Custom Instructions option in M365 Copilot chat. After playing around with different verbiage, I managed to get it dialed in in a way that made Copilot 10x more useful for me in my day-to-day tasks.

 

This morning, I noticed that the responses no longer seemed to be following my custom instructions, and when I opened the settings again I found that the Custom Instructions option (as well as other personalization options) were no longer available. 

 

I can't emphasize enough how much better having the ability to add those Custom Instructions made the product... Any ideas on how to bring them back?
