Timelapse videos are not getting saved on iPhone 15 Pro Max

iphone 15 pro max, ios 18.5, 2tb internal storage, 852gb available. Using the "normal" camera. Everything looks good on screen while recording, but then it doesn't show up in photos. And still, sometimes it does. I have a couple I took today, the result is under 20 sec. long, they show, another one I recorded for 5 minutes, doesn't. Does the length have anything to do with it? I had another attempt recording for like 20 minutes, didn't show up either. Very dissapointing

you forgot to add "if that doesn't help, get iphone 16"... :-)

Ya, no... if you or someone with the same configuration can confirm that recording 15 min of timelapse video results in a file in Photos, I might consider.

Try if force restarting the iPhone helps. If that does not help reset the iPhone. If that does not help, backup, reset to factory settings, and restore.
