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 haven't tried blocking the download but i have downgraded to a version that appears to let me fill up the watch's storage and stay downgraded. VA3M firmware 3.80, i've been on it for over a day without an upgrade yet (i tried the same on VA3M firmware 4.90 and it was able to upgrade me despite my filling the storage up, twice.)
