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

    no response here from Garmin all day is telling. they essentially bricked all VA3 and VA3M's that use internet watchfaces, since at least Saturday and there is no recourse for the user because their firmware is not user downgradeable. yet not a peep in either thread yet.
