HomeKit Video Preview Isn't Refreshing

My Home App won't show the preview image that usually refreshes every 30-40 seconds. It's stuck on "Now". Has anyone else experienced this?

Same issue here.

Since yesterday the preview thumbnails of one of my iPhones (iPhone 11 on iOS 15.2) has stopped updating. I only get a black frame or a picture that is about 24 hours old, without any updating. The timer in the lower right corner does not run either.

MacBook Pro, Apple Watch and another iPhone work fine.

I was able to temporarily fix the issue by removing the cameras from HomeKit and reconnecting them but after the next iPhone restart, the issue was present again.....
