Move to IOS transfer failed

I am trying to transfer data from my pixel 4a to iphone 14pro max. I am getting "Transfer Failed" immediately after the time estimation step and before starting data transfer. Tried multiple times .

I have tried the same data transfer process from my another moto g phone to the same iphone and it works well. Has anyone transferred data from pixel to iphone ? Appreciate your help

Thank you. Contacting pixel phone did not help as they say it's the issue with "Moving to IOS" app.

Anyway, I could debug this to the transfer of SMS from Pixel to iPhone. When I selected all but SMS transfers, it worked. Not sure why transferring SMS is a problem in Pixel, while it is working from another Android phone.
