makeWebRequest stopped working on Vivoactive 3 firmware 7.00

On Vivoactive 3 firmware 7.00, data-driven watch faces almost never update.

The issue has been observed with the weather functionality in bine8x8's watch faces, xDrip+/Spike Watchface, NightscoutWatch, etc.

Based on developer reports, it sounds like the requests are made but the callback is almost never called. On my device, the issue has been present for 2 days, and of the last ~600 polls I only noticed 1 callback, at a random time somewhere in the middle.

I downgraded to firmware 6.90 and that fixed the issue (until the Connect app forced the upgrade again).

Web requests are still working on widgets.

Most of the discussion so far has been in this thread: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/207021/after-updating-fw-va3-to-7-00-makewebrequest-stopped-working

    I was able to downgrade briefly to firmware 6.90 via the GUPDATE.GCD method, and since that fixed my watch face, I'm confident firmware 7.00 is the cause. I find it frustrating that this bad firmware is still being pushed every couple of hours and Garmin has chosen not to allow me to stop it, especially since watch faces have been broken by updates twice in the last 6 months.
