Leaving this open in case people can still repro

[mountiny]

QA was not able to repro now, might be related to the site slowness too https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C9YU7BX5M/p1696354755260329?thread_ts=1696340542.134169&cid=C9YU7BX5M

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[koko57]

This looks like the same root cause like #27418. This probably will be fixed by this #28984

[laurenreidexpensify]

@mountiny do you agree ^^

[koko57]

Checking on my branch - it should be working 😃
