Not sure if bug or dumb — Lottie-Web does not seem to follow pause() method consistently

Exporting JSON with Bodymovin plugin version 5.12.1 from After Effects on MacOS 14.2.1

• Browser and Browser Version:
  Chrome Version 120.0.6099.234
• After Effects Version:
  24.0.1

What did you do? Please explain the steps you took before you encountered the problem.
Built an animation and exported Lottie JSON data to be played in an HTML5 deliverable (minimum reproducible example included HERE). Created an event listener that fires helper functions [allPause(), allPlay()]based on if the content is visible or not, calling the pause() method on our Lottie animation when visibility is lost, then play() when regained.

What did you expect to happen?
For the animation to pause on switching tabs.

What actually happened? Please include as much relevant detail as possible.
The animation does not pause on visibility change or does not successfully pause, i.e. on switching browser tabs and then switching back, time-stamped console messages confirm that the helper functions fired as intended at appropriate times, but the animation skips ahead on returning, instead of resuming from the point reached before switching tabs.

Manually calling either allPause() or anim.pause(), then allPlay() or anim.play() seems to pause and then correctly resume the animation without skipping forward on resume.

Please provide a download link to the After Effects file that demonstrates the problem.

I'm pretty sure I'm not just making a critical noob JS error but ya never know! Any help is appreciated.
