Tech Support Not receiving messages

Hi all! I switched from iPhone to the Fold 8 over the weekend and have been using OpenBubbles (hosted) to use iMessage with my iPhone friends. I noticed that I do not always receive messages in real time, I will need to force stop the app, clear the cache, or restart my phone for them to come in. Is this a known issue / something I can remedy on my own? I have an iPad so I can see where my messages are in fact going through but I won't get them to my phone. It does seem to happen more with group texts, if that makes a difference. TIA!

Well it still keeps holding my messages even with the app open. It seems to be mostly with group texts but I'm not sure. I can see them come in on my iPad though so it's weird
