During VPP app installation, the app-device asset association event took longer than the usual maximum of 30 seconds to complete, regardless of the number of app licenses involved.

We are experiencing a critical issue where VPP app installations are consistently taking an excessive amount of time, leading to significant delays in asset association. We are deployionThis is a systemic problem that affects all VPP apps, not just an isolated case.

Troubleshooting:
We have performed extensive troubleshooting and can confirm the following:
VPP Token: The VPP token has been successfully renewed and is currently active and valid.
License Availability: We've verified that there are sufficient VPP licenses available for the apps being deployed.
Device Status: We've attempted the following on the affected devices:
Restarted the devices.
Switched to different Wi-Fi networks.
Uninstalled and re-installed the apps.
App Status: The issue is not limited to a single app; all VPP apps are failing to install.
License Revocation: We attempted to revoke and reassign licenses for some devices, but this did not resolve the issue. The app was not pushed, and the pending status remained.
Troubleshooting:
Through our internal investigation, we have determined that the core issue is that the Asset Association Status is consistently taking excessive time. This seems to be preventing the app installation queue from processing.
We have observed a significant delay in the processing of events within the Notification Channel. The time between the event being created and a response being received is excessively long, indicating a potential backlog or issue. We have included a few recent examples below for your reference:

We would appreciate your help in the following areas:
Resolution: Could you provide any known solutions or workarounds for an asset association status that is taking excessive amount of time'?
Best Practices: Are there any recommended best practices or additional parameters we should be checking with the MDM that might influence the queueing of VPP app assignments?
Queueing Parameters: Could you provide insight into the parameters or conditions that can affect the queueing and processing of VPP app installations on Apple's servers?
Please let us know if there is any additional information or logs we can provide.
