I've reported this before... I have lost fairly huge chucks of time so I have tried a few things to minimize the loss when I log out.

I don't make any changes withing 5-10 min before logging out, this includes setting stores to work and feeding dinos. This is annoying, but try and give the game a few minutes to save to the server before logging out

I try and visit another village to force a server connection before logging out. I don't know if this does anything, but I feel that doing something that requires server funtionality will force data being sent/saved to their server. This is a little bit of a double edged sword, since visiting other villages may crash your client. Visiting low level villages seems safer than high level ones.

After I log out, I use an app killer (I use Gemini app manager but there are many options out there) to kill off all running apps including Tiny Village, and if you are on amazon, the Amazon game cloud saving app. Tiny Village does not seem to close on it own, and this may be the primary source of time not passing correctly. My theory is that the app remains in sort of a stasis mode, where the game clock does not run and when you open it back up it continues on as if nothing happened.

So after all that I seem to have reduced most my time loss to a minimal amout, maybe 5 mins, instead of the hours I was losing before. Maybe it i just a bunch of superstition, but some or all of these steps might help you keep from losing too much progress.
