I don't think this has ever worked on Android (specifically Galaxy S7, Note 10, S20 and S21 Ultra). My workaround is to create a "clipboard clear" macro in Macrodroid that I set to not clear but fill the clipboard (all 40 slots, now, on the Galaxy) with dummy data every X minutes. Works for me.

This definitely used to work on iOS a couple of months ago.
I experience the same issue since summer.
Btw. iOS has an API to copy contents to clipboard with expiration time, so practically it might be iOS issue, but other similar app (competitor) do work and copy to clipboard using Apple Shortcuts also works as expected.
