Flicker of CircleLayer and 3D Model when tilting/rotating camera (Mapbox Android SDK 11.17.0)

Nobody has claimed this yet.

## Environment

- Android OS version: 15
- Devices affected: Nothing Phone 2 (also Xiaomi MI 9T on Android 10)
- Maps SDK Version: com.mapbox.maps:android:11.7.0

## Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

When the camera is pitched/tilted or moved quickly the on-screen circle and a 3D glb model briefly flicker. This is reproducible with this code:

```kotlin

}

private fun addDuckModel(style: Style) {
// Model source
style.addSource(
geoJsonSource("duck-model-source") {

}
)

// Register the remote model asset so the layer can reference it
style.addModel(

)

}

)

style.addLayer(

circleSortKey(9999.0)
}
)

style.addLayer(
circleLayer("user-location-dot-layer", "circle-source") {
circleRadius(6.0)
circleColor("#1E88E5")

## Expected behavior

That flicker should not happen.

## Notes / preliminary analysis

It looks like the flicker happens when "loaded: false":

`12-11 18:36:40.826 341 341 D MapDebug: SourceDataLoaded: [sourceId: composite, type: Tile, loaded: false, tileId: [z: 12, x: 2148, y: 1465], dataId: , timeInterval: [begin: Thu Dec 11 18:36:40 GMT+01:00 2025, end: Thu Dec 11 18:36:40 GMT+01:00 2025]]`

I have no idea why this happens. If this could help, I also tried with rnmapbox in react native and the same behaviour happens. Thank you for your time.

Reproduce the issue with the provided Kotlin MainActivity, using the rapid camera tilt or rotation on the listed Android devices and SDK version. Observe the circle, 3D GLB model, and SourceDataLoaded log during movement; done means the flicker no longer occurs.
