Hi  - I am having the same issue.   Been emailing back and forth with support but the issue has not been resolved.   Only happens with Word, Excel is fine.   I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled multiple times.   I even uninstalled Microsoft 365, thinking maybe it was a Word issue.   I make sure the preference for the badge is set to "allows show".   I am not using compatibility mode either.   The issue started last week and it is with ALL word documents.
