I recently purchased an expired domain, when I first check ahref they showed me 1.2k backlink
2 weeks later which is today, I checked again and my backlink had dropped to 990
I checked the current backlink showing on ahref and found out that dome of those pages linking to my domain are no longer available.
Despite the drop of links my domain authority still haven't dropped, still at 29 on ahref.
Also have some ranking posts
Will it affect my ranking and domain SEO authority?

Ahrefs' authority calculations/algorithm has nothing in common with how google see, calculate and 'reward' your website. Losing a small portion of links will of course have negative impact on your overall score but that does not mean that you will see drastic keyword/traffic changes.
 
Google and Ahrefs sees stuff differently as @Veil123 said, so even though you lose a few backlinks, it might not affect your google rankings. There is a possibility it can so just keep an eye out.
 
of course! Authority is always given by backlinks, so no backlinks no authority, and sometimes no rankings either
 
Yes, it will have an impact. If there is good drop in number of links, it might result in penalty from Google.
 
It can potentially affect your website's ranking and authority, depending on the quality and quantity of the backlinks that you lose.
