BLE Sniffer - stops sniffing packets some time after connection

I am using the BLE sniffer in Wireshark (nrf 52840 dev kit board)  to attempt to capture packets between a BLE device and android phone. I am able to sniff advertising packets, choose the device, and then sniff the packets associated with the connection process. The problem is after 10-60 seconds of the connection I stop collecting packets even though from the android app I can confirm that transmission is happening currently. If I sever the BLE connection between the phone and device the sniffer usually starts picking up advertising packets again.  Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
