Windows 10: Authenticator App - Automatic Request Timeout

I'm using Authenticator app for 2FA and up till now worked fine - I would get a request in the app to confirm the number displayed in browser and then confirm with my fingerprint. However recently everytime a request is triggered, the number flashes for second and then automatically fails to "Request Timeout" message. I still get the request in the app but its too late by then.


To log in I have to re-enter my password and then enter the One-time password code in the app.


I tried the following:

• removing the accounts from the app,
• removing the app and re-installing it and re-adding the account
• disabling and then re-enabling MFA in security settings in my account

Microsoft Authenticator will not automatically detect the sign in request starting today......

It worked all the time before up until today when I try to sign into my outlook.com and there is no two step authenticator sign in request received on my iphone. But if I go into the Microsoft Authenticator app itself and click check for notifications,
I then receive the sign in request. But what I want is the old behavior where the notification will show up automatically. (I did not turn off Microsoft Authenticator notification, the notification in the iphone setting app are all enabled.)
