In Preferences > General there are some Auto-Save options.

If those are set correctly, then something else is amiss.

Unfortunately, if you've already re-started GnuCash, the Tracefile was 
overwritten, so if there is info there to help, it is gone.

I take note you're using the Flatpak. This might be a clue for tracking 
the issue down.

Adrien
