No Updates after Switching View Many Times

A single-page web application was getting push updates via SSE. Each view used a different SSE resource from the same endpoint. After a certain amount of navigations via the main menu, no updates would be displayed anymore. This problem seemingly did not occur reliantly at first but as it turned out it would occur exactly after the seventh view changes (navigating 7 times via the menu). Every time a view is opened, its controller requests the respective SSE resource to get updates for the view. I was able to confirm this behavior on the API proxy which logged every request URL.

Different devices have different screen space, on smartphones a vertical layout might be advantageous over a horizontal.
