This may be related to the Bug 1822899 - Off by one error in checking for expired messages.

The first message is displayed at 4. The display count is incremented to 1.

At the second time of doing work (step 6), the first message comes up again, blocking the second message from being displayed.

It looks likely that it is . The issue is not reproducible on Firefox Nightly 113.0a1 (Build #2015941859), c56db2d798 GV: 113.0a1-20230329095653 AS: 97.3.0, which should contain the fix to Bug 1822899.
