Lately (last few weeks or so) my Pixel 6 Pro has developed an incredibly frustrating contactless payments problem.

Out of the blue it will become really, really slow to respond to tapping for a payment, taking 5 -20 seconds to actually open the Google Wallet/Pay app and do it’s thing. If I tap and it’s not immediately opened I’ve tried to open the app via the quick tile but the button is non-responsive. Eventually it’ll open and then I can pay.

Once it’s acting like this it’ll do it indefinitely, but I can fix it by restarting the phone. Then payments (and opening the app) are near instant as they should be.

Anyone else seen anything like this? Any solutions?
