Description

## Environment

- Android v16
- Devices affected: Pixel 9 / All
- Maps SDK Version: 11.17.2

## Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

1. Use retail mapbox studio app
2. Select any map (mapbox streets etc)
3. Zoom into London or other populated place
4. Notice labels and icons render as you pan
5. Minimise the app and switch to another app
6. Switch back
7. Continue panning and notice labels and POI icons no longer render outside the current loaded area.

## Expected behaviour

Map labels and poi continue to download and render correctly

## Notes / preliminary analysis

Seems like the auto load on panning does not work

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android v16 behavior in the retail Mapbox Studio app with Maps SDK 11.17.2, following the listed minimise, switch-back, and panning steps. Inspect the app lifecycle and map loading behavior around resume; done means labels and POI icons continue downloading and rendering outside the previously loaded area.
