I still had my music on my phone for a few weeks after the store person updated the new phone from the old one. This was October of 2020 when my 6s iphone was not doing well.
I was never sure if my itunes music on my old laptops went to icloud, but I thought that what was on my iphone was backed up in the cloud. Maybe I should just look to see what's in the cloud from my new Mac, if that is possible.

I hope you get it sorted out.
For what it is worth, the songs I ripped from CD and added to Music app stayed accessible there even when I didn't have an Apple Music subscription. Those are mine, bought and paid for, albeit through purchasing and ripping CDs. I do have a few songs I purchased through Apple, and those also remain accessible even without an Apple Music subscription. I'm not sure why they would require a subscription to get your "purchased" songs back. That sounds to me like an Apple CS rep not knowing the correct answer. However, Apple has churned out a lot of terribly buggy FW and software during the pandemic, so it could just be related to bugs in the system. And Apple made some huge changes to the way certain apps work that seem to have caused a lot of confusion as well as introduced a lot of bugs.
