Portal server not listed under "browse servers"

When I leave my server and search for it after in the Portal server browser, I cannot find the server I created and marked as persistent.

Title of server is Chaotic Pandas: A Better Battlefield. Full XP, Permanent Server. Region is Australia.

I have activated persistent portal servers in my settings, and I have enabled persistent server and clicked the host button.

The server started fine. Whether I leave soon after or stay for a full round and let the second map load, when I leave, the server is gone. It does not show up in the server browser. There are only four servers or so listed in Australia, judging by ping. This has to be wrong - I thought I saw a dozen earlier today.

My server is close to the default settings so that people can just join a persistent server without being kicked out to the menu all the time, plus some vehicle spawn delays and people downed being able to crawl.

What am I doing wrong?

Separate query: There is a notice in the server settings that states "Mastery Limited". This happens from enabling AI. I take it the mastery limitations only apply to AI kills, and mastery will still progress normally when fighting human players?

I searched on the exact name of my server using both the 'Server Name' and 'Experience Name' options, and nothing came up. I have no idea how to find my so-called "Persistent Server" after I have left it, especially if it is empty. Does this feature actually work? From what I can tell, it does not work for me.

Had a 30min window to play last night. Couldn't MM into AOW. Went into Portal and the maps were pretty dead in there with 200% Hardcore game modes dominating the play list. Decided to set up my own Portal mode, asked me to scan the QR code and then I ended up setting it up on my phone. When it was done it gave me a code. I put that code into the game on my Xbox One and the game mode popped up. What was greyed out was "persistent server". So my game started and then I quit out of it to see if my game mode was active as a persistent server in Portal and I couldn't find it anywhere. It's like it is only active if I am active which is the way it was working beforehand.

I was hoping that if I set it up now, that come mid next week when I get a chance to play properly that there would have been a few people who joined it and it would be semi if not fully full so I can play my AOW modes in Portal because I cant actually MM into AOW anymore.

Has anyone else had the same experience or am I doing something wrong? I take it the persistent servers are live now with the 2.2 update? That was my understanding anyhow.

I should also add that I pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of BF2042, so I should qualify to set up a persistent server in Portal.

@sambolearyfirst there is a new option in the game settings which you need to turn to On to have persisistent servers not anymore greyed out. (doesn't make any sense, why not just have the option under server hosting??? well...)
second it does not seem to work currently... :D
I had a server up yesterday, we played with 3 ppl, 1 guy joined.. on map change we decided to leave , I quickly checked the server tab, nothing in it.
I now tried again and just quit the server after setting it up, no server management tab available and it's also not in the server list, so I guess it's not persistent....

My server was persisting perfect for a few days and now it doesn't. I tried restarting the PS4, the game, refreshing the server browser, turning on and off the persist option... Nothing works and my server does not show up in the server browser anymore. 

Ok so apparently my server is persisting but the server browser won't show it unless I search for it.... Which is wack.
