Cleanup Step Bug
I was playing MTG Arena on the ladder in Best of Three matches on PC. Towards the end of the game I experienced a bug during the cleanup step. I went to end my turn with too many cards in hand. Discarded two cards to get my hand size to 7. The discards triggered my Monument to Endurance and the modes chosen were Draw a card and create a treasure token. Once resolved I had to discard down to hand size again, discarding one card this time and once I passed my turn I noticed that my Monument to Endurance didn't reset it's modes. All the modes were whited out showing that there were no triggers available during my opponents turn.
I think the bug was experienced due to the cleanup step shenanigans with the monument. I have triggered my monument during the cleanup step before by discarding down to handsize however I have never chosen the mode Draw a card before today. I'm almost positive that is what went wrong here. Screenshots supporting my claim have been submitted in the comment section.

I tried to recreate the bug and apparently it's just a bug with the way the artifacts are displayed. The modes may be grayed out like they cannot be used or have already been used for the turn but you can still get the activations. My opponent conceeded in the game shown previously since I was so far ahead already. But I had another game where the same thing happened. I was still able to get my activations, the artifacts just did not visually represent the appropriate game state. I will keep that in mind in the future.

Here are the screenshots of what I experienced. The order of events proceed from step 1-5.
