  Staff are working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.

  If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  re: recovering a lost post or page
  Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.

  Any idea why, if it autosaves every few seconds, is this huge a block of text missing??

  Yes, my guess is that you are not using a desktop computer and not using the classic interface. I believe you are describing either a browser related issue or a connectivity issue.

  Make sure you are running an up to date browser version found at https://browsehappy.com Try clearing your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and see the tips here https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
