How large is the image you're trying to upload? Might simple be too big

I figured it out, it doesnt like transparency. I used ffmpeg to remove it and it works. it is not playing the full loop for some reason even though the ffmpeg output is playing it in full

Most likely it's too big when uncompressed or too complex to run full loop. It works correctly when it's only thing running. But for example opening your profile with mobile browser it runs worse than in here, maybe because your banner is also gif. Consider that profile image shown on posts is just 80x80 while your gif is 1080x1080 as full size.
