Held interaction key (Q/E) causes collection animation to stutter and slow down after 2-3 items
Description
Since the recent update, holding down the collection key (Q or E) to gather quest items (like Death Cap mushrooms) is no longer smooth. The first 2 or 3 items register quickly, but then the character gets stuck in a sluggish, stuttering, one-by-one pickup animation. It feels like the client-side animation loop is waiting too long for server confirmation, forcing a hard throttle on continuous inputs.

Outcomes
Observed Result
The character picks up the first 2 or 3 items quickly, but then the interaction speed drops dramatically. The remaining quest items are gathered incredibly slowly, one by one, with a sluggish and stuttering animation loop.
Expected Result
The dinosaur should continuously and fluidly pick up all items at a fast, consistent speed for as long as the interaction key is held down, exactly how it worked prior to the update.
Steps to Reproduce
Log in.
Locate a quest resource node, such as a Death Cap mushroom pile.
Press and continuously hold down the collection interaction key (Q or E).
Observe the sudden drop in collection animation speed after the first 3 items are gathered.
