Bug description
When I get numerous texts, usually I don't receive the last text. Let's say I receive x number of texts start from time n, n+1, n+2, ..., n+x. What happens is I usually don't get the xth text at n+x time.
And when I send a text, say at n+x+100 time, I receive that last xth text at n+x+100 time instead of receiving at n+x time.
Steps to reproduce
- It's random
Actual result: I receive the xth text at n+x+100 time, that is the time when I send a text.
Expected result: I should've received the xth text at n+x time.
Device info

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked debug log and the reported random reproduction steps for Signal 6.20.5 on Android 11. Investigate why the final message in a sequence is delayed until another message is sent; done means messages arrive at their delivery time rather than being released by a later send.
