Read aloud - stops reading, sometimes starts over after the interruption

love using read aloud to allow me to listen to the words… sometimes my brain works better in dialog. so i love this feature!
usually ill switch over from the web application to the mobile app on my Android.
about 80% of the time it works beautifully… the other 20% of the time the reading will work fine. but sometimes, on some responses, it will completely stop reading and ill have to return to the app and click the play button again. sometimes this works to get me right back to where it paused. but sometimes its less of a pause and more of a stop where when i press play again it starts from the top. and other times the playback will stop and then immediately start playing again from the time.
its not always in the same spot that it stops and restarts… so its incredibly unpredictable but also beyond frustrating as it wastes my time then running back through the minutes i just listened to.

im currently on the Plus plan, on the Pixel 9 Pro, on Wifi at my house, and what else you need to know im happy to provide answers!

anyone else experiencing this kind of behavior?
thanks yall.

i was imagining that i wasnt alone… Neon, are you also on Android? any predictable pattern to the behavior? can you recreate it at all?

For example if you keep talking to it and keep the voice more than 30 mins on, it stops talking.

Same for when gpt is reading, if the text is long like (2k words) it stops reading the whole thing and starts repeating it.

gotcha… thanks for the added detail. i hadnt noticed this specific behavior but it makes sense. hopefully someone with technical knowledge of the issues knows what to do.
