Thanks for the quick reply! I was not using APNS but using code to start & update live activities. After app launch, I have: let attributes = LiveActivityAttributes() let contentState = LiveActivityAttributes.ContentState() do { let activity = try Activity<LiveActivityAttributes>.request( attributes: attributes, content: ActivityContent(state: contentState, staleDate: nil) ) print("activity started") } catch { ... }

And see "activity started" successfully. Then when app will terminate, I call: for activity in Activity<LiveActivityAttributes>.activities { let contentState = LiveActivityAttributes.ContentState(shouldShow: shouldShow) Task(priority: .high) { await activity.update(ActivityContent(state: contentState, staleDate: nil)) print("activity updated") } }

and see "activity updated" printed without seeing the activity actually being updated - is the code triggered activity also budgeted? (please look at these 3 comments backwards as there is a 500 char limit)
