Push notifications on macOS "discarded due to expiry"

I'm having a reproducible problem receiving push notifications on macOS 26.2.

The pattern is that the push is received and then discarded almost immediately (there is a 60s expiration date) when on battery power and then when I plug in pushes start working and even if I unplug again it works for hours until breaking again.

These are alert notifications with priority 10.

Other team members have had similar problems but less reliably broken and even get a "stored for device power considerations" message followed by discarded (see apns-unique-id c29250a3-abbf-008a-96f9-a5384e32d1df).

An example from my machine with the apns-unique-id 6b2dfe3d-af99-182a-0e1e-6b811d3ec486 which fails immediately.

iOS is working fine however so this seems to be confined to macOS only.

We would like to collect some details about your app and the tokens, etc. to diagnose this issue.
