Well, thank you for your response. although it was about 4 months too late, I didn't notice it until 3 months later either. I suspect the issue was related to publishing a spatial view within a map service, to get around that issue I simply increased the data creation and workflow to export the view to a feature class nightly.
I did not submit a support request because that usually doesn't result in much but wasted time from my experience. Especially with the time it takes to get to someone who can actually help. Plus not everyone has unlimited support options.
Thank you for your reply though, all the best.
