BT/USB audio issues when no internet connection

Not sure if this is covered somewhere else...

I am observing that when the car has no internet connections (i.e. no LTE/3G/E due to terrain/location) the audio stream from either Bluetooth or USB stops every ~30-60sec for up to ~30sec then it plays again for another ~30-60sec.

When the car has a robust internet connection, be it LTE or 3G, the audio from Bluetooth or USB plays just fine.

This issue happens with different iPhones and with those phones playing via Apple Music or Spotify (with downloaded material obviously). The USB material is coming from a 64GB SanDisk drive that plays just fine when the car has an internet connection.

I have tried reseting on the fly when this occurs but it doesn't improve things.

Anyone else experience this?

I am on 2020.4.1 but the issue existed on prior versions.
