Remote streams stop playing, every time

Here are the logs from both the server and client.

Playback started at 14:44:16 and stopped at 14:45:21.

The reason it stopped is because the video would not load any further.
I did not pause, stop or interfere in any other way with the playback. The internet was fine, as were the local networks.

Other media playing apps such as Emby and Jellyfin do not show any problems with remote playback whatsoever, hence this is a Plex problem.

AFAIK from the logs, the server will not provide the client with any more data at a random point, the client has to pause the playback and report it back to the server and the server thinks the client paused the playback and the playback just stops and never resumes.

This is on server version 1.20.1.3252 and Android Plex version 8.6.0.20351 (397d660a).
This behavior can be replicated with remote connections from devices ranging from Plex for iOS, Plex Web for Windows, Plex for Android and Plex for Android TV. I repeat that networking is not an issue and this seems like a general bug, probably server-side.
