Larger videos not background syncing

I'm onboarding to Immich, server and web UI are working great and I've got the Android app configured to do bg sync. On Thursday evening I attended an event where I created some longer videos on my phone (2-4 minutes). This morning (Saturday) I noticed that the photos and shorter videos from the event had synced to the immich server, but the longer videos had not. Once I opened the Immich app on my phone, they were synced a few minutes later.

Is this expected behavior or do I have something misconfigured? I'm migrating from Mylio partly because my phone photos don't sync to Mylio unless I open the Mylio app. If I forget to open the app for a while, there's a chance that the photos don't get ingested before they're pushed to Google Photos and purged to make space on the phone. I was hoping Immich and its background sync would solve that issue for me.

Thanks!
