Messenger Not Updating With New Messages

I'm currently on RC1 and I'm having issues with Messenger not updating when someone submits an IM, the user has to refresh the page and only then are new messages are loaded.

I have the JOT server installed and running (confirmed with forever list).

There is no connection issues, it connects just fine, nothing showing up in the console about errors when someone submits something, using HTTPS with letsencrpt.

conf file looks like this:

{
    "port":5443,
    "mode":"",
    "log":"log.log",
    "domains":["*"],
    "transformer":"sockjs",
    "secret": "",
    "root":"/usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/etc/live/domain.tld",
    "cert":"cert.pem", 
    "key":"privkey.pem",
    "OFFLINE":0,
    "ONLINE":1,     
    "AWAY":2
}

Meanwhile the server URL in the Messenger settings is set to

https://domain.tld:5443

PHP version is 8.2.11

Command I run when starting the JOT service:

forever -w --watchDirectory=/usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/etc/live/domain.tld start app.js

JOT location on the server is

/jots
