Unreliable notifications on Element X

There seems to be a number of issues observed (that have changed over time) that seems to have the result that notifications via element X are lost or delayed (by minutes) unless there are a large volume of push events.

Observed symptoms in EX push history:

"Push handled successfully but notification was filtered out"
"Received push but could not retrieve event, showing fallback notification"

Confirmed the same happened on EXA 25.07.1.

For SchildiNext 0.10.4-ex_25_7_1, push history shows up as "Success - null". With high volumes (e.g. during spam waves), sometimes a "You may have unread notifications" is shown. Toggling the Chamber of Secrets > Notification worker on and off doesn't change the issue.

Push works perfectly on a Synapse account however. Perhaps push rules may be misconfigured/missing for cwt.

Related EXA issues: #5052 and #4880

I have an iOS device running an older version of elementX (version 1.9.3 (134)). This version uses Continuwuity, and notifications pop up but don't make sounds. I remember some changes to notifications since Continuwuity enabled simple swipe syncing. In later versions of elementX, the notification bubbles disappeared, and the sound still doesn't work.

Unable to reproduce anymore on the latest version of Element X iOS Testflight (as of 2025-08-15). I'm assuming they fixed something on their end given the torrent of notifications I received over the course of two days.

I don't think there's a particular reason to investigate this further then

So far, there is still no notification sound.
