Contacts are disappearing / reappearing periodically (Sony XA2, SailfishOS 3.0.3) [duplicate]

It happens periodically and looks like there are some issues with synchronization with gmail account. Any ideas how to troubleshoot?
It's a longstanding issue: https://together.jolla.com/question/175382/bug-contacts-disappear-if-google-account-contact-sync-fails/
It has had the effect that I've learnt the number of many of my contacts by heart 😄

Mohjive ( 2019-05-23 08:23:38 +0200 )editI've been able to work around this problem by manually importing all of my contacts on the phone. I use gmail, so I exported them all to a file from gmail web, then imported them to the phone via settings->apps-->people. Unfortunately, this has caused an even worse side effect that my battery drains at a rapid pace. I think this is because I have 447 contacts--coworkers and various people I don't really ever contact--and
