IPhone Immich initial sync stuck at 1 and 1% iCloud Download

I've been testing Immich for a couple of months and so far so good, but I've only been using Android phones. Just decided to try and increase WAF and get my wife's iPhone in the mix and it won't complete the initial sync.

All photos/video except for those in the last few days should've been pre-synced by the Google Takeout I did with her account, so honestly unsure of why Immich claimed to start with over 2,000 from the Recent album.

After fighting with Background App Refresh issues (which may still not be resolved), I ask her to leave the Immich app up overnight in foreground to let it run through the initial sync. This is what it got down to and I noticed the second "iCloud Download" percent bar stuck at 1% (for hours).

I could find anything on here related to that, so sorry if this has been addressed previously.
