What about stories about time travel that ultimately form a closed loop? There’s one that has people moving forwards and backwards through time, yet forms a closed loop at the end: >!Dark!<
I’m not sure that it can be clearly delineated as a time loop or a causality loop, it’s honestly a mix of both - though you’d probably call it a causality loop, as each “instance of a person” only experiences the loop once.

A closed loop story creates consistency.
Groundhog loops are different each loop
If they’re using time travel to create a causality loop, that’s different than a time loop.
Time loops usually reset causality, accept for those actually experiencing the loop iterations.
