Iphone stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" (never continues)

I'd seen this previously (last fall, thread here: iPhone sync stuck on "Waiting for changes… - Apple Community

) and it's come up again. I had to remove all music from the iphone previously to get it to sync again which was onerous.

Curious if anyone else with large music libraries is seeing this. Apple has been treating standalone iphone music libraries as second class citizens for a long time. It would be enormously disappointing if there's an unstated limit on storage. Currently at 757GB on a 1TB phone, >100GB free. Both the Mac Studio and iPhone are on the latest OS (Sequoia 15.2 and IOS 18.1.1 respectively).

Wondering if this is related to attempting to sync >100K songs? Didn't realize it was more than 100K until posting this. Believe there's a long running bug in IOS on large object counts.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18
