I'm currently unable to reproduce this, going to try updating Auth, Web-E, PDFs, etc...

[roryabraham]

Yeah, I'm unable to reproduce this on main.

[roryabraham]

Going to try reproducing locally by checking out the staging branch – maybe this has already been fixed and we just need to CP the appropriate PR?

[roryabraham]

Yeah, not able to reproduce locally at all.

[roryabraham]

not able to reproduce on staging either

Given that this isn't preventing the user from completing the flow, and that it's only inconsistently reproducible, I don't think we need to block deploy on this.
