Seeding library from iCloud and beta sync issues

I've been using Immich since the beginning of the year on Android and Web with great success! Thanks to all the contributors for creating a wonderful tool!

Initially, I didn't have much luck with the IOS app on my wife's phone. I did use Immich-Go to import her 50k assets from iCloud, but the app itself just wasn't working with a library that large.

So I was super excited when you recently released the new beta timeline! The IOS app is now 1000 percent better! Unfortunately, I'm still having issues. Here's what I'm doing:

1) Request latest iCloud Photo Archive from Apple
2) Download and import using Immich-Go
3) Uninstall/Re-install Immich on iPhone and Enable beta timeline
4) Keep phone on and watch sync process

Issue #1: Once the app is done sync'ing, I'm left with 4000+ assets that it says needs to be uploaded. But I just imported all the latest from iCloud, so at most there should be a few dozen missing assets. How can I troubleshoot this?

Issue #2: If I decide to go ahead and let Immich upload the "missing" assets, it uploads at a snails pace... like KB/s. I'll keep it open for 10-15 minutes, and it will have uploaded maybe 5-10 assets. Then my wife wants her phone back. What could be causing this? The phone does get warm, so maybe IOS is throttling Immich?

And in multiple cases, I've noticed it was uploading an asset that was already uploaded (same size and filename) through iCloud/Immich-Go... why would that happen?

Server: v1.137.3
IOS version: Latest as of today

Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
