We are updating a Live Activity via push notifications quite frequently. As the documentation suggests, we are using NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates for this case. We are sending all updates with apns-priority: 10.
Is it still possible that iOS throttles push-updates with this setting enabled?
For example we sent updates to APNS in this frequence:

All of those were sent successfully, but at some point the activity stopped updating. The activity continued for several hours after, but was never updated again.
What I checked so far:
From device logs we can see that there was no updated push-token
The sent content-state is correct
From these observations and considering the high-frequent updates, I suspect that there is still some throttling happening here.
Can anyone elaborate on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, we are currently implementing our iOS Live Activity via push notification updates.
Sometimes, when the activity finishes (push sends "end" event), it happens that the activity freezes in some disabled/loading state. It gets dimmed and shows a loading indicator on top (which does not come from our UI).
I suspect that some process gets stuck when updating, but we are not doing anything else when the activity gets finished.
Does anyone know in which situation this could happen? I could not find anything about it in the documentation.
More background info:
We are not using stale-dates
iOS 16.2
Thanks in advance.
