I have some updates -  
this hasn’t been solved but it appears the issue seems to be that sometimes, probably in busier times, chat messages aren’t fetched. So the user sees as if no new-messages were sent and then after a while or when refreshing they all appear.

This is a chat channel with many users (100K+) though most aren’t active.
