Why Does My PlayStation 4 Game Saves on PlayStation 5 Not Automatically Backup To The Cloud Even Though I Have PlayStation 5 Set To Do That? (Gaming - Sony)

So I just did a test on PS5 using the R-Type Dimensions PS4 game.

I have auto updates enabled and auto game save uploads enabled for PS4 and PS5 games

The last cloud save is showing as 20th June the last time I played it

I launched the game and played for a bit then closed the game

The cloud save was still show 20th June

I turned the PS5 completely off then turned it back on

The cloud save was still showing 20th June

I put the PS5 into rest mode then left it a couple of minutes and turned it back on

The cloud save was showing 22nd June

So yeah, PS4 saves seem to only upload automatically when the PS5 is in rest mode. Even turning the console off and turning it back on doesn't update the cloud save.
