communication issue involving the same Omnipod 5 pod on next-dev #2485

Describe the bug

Yesterday, I experienced a temporary pod communication failure. At that time, communication was restored after toggling Bluetooth off and back on.

Today, the same pod became unreachable again. This time none of the recovery actions worked:

Bluetooth off/on
Force-closing and reopening Loop
Rebooting the iPhone
The pod never reconnected and ultimately had to be replaced.

The reason I am posting this in Zulip first is that I am currently on-site with a customer and do not have enough time today to create a proper GitHub issue with logs and a full investigation.

I understand that a GitHub report may still be needed, but repeated communication failures with the same pod are concerning enough that I wanted to document the behavior immediately.
