Need a bit more information on this, cannot reproduce any issues here and don't see anything wrong with file itself either.
Only major problem I am seeing that optimization is leaving blank frames with 40ms frame times instead of just combining the frames and adding up the frame times into single one, second that this is 3000x3000 GIF file so I would imagine some hardware having issues playing back that resolution properly.

It’s doing it on my end, I’m on mobile an iPhone 16 pro max using safari. If that helps

My internet speed is 182 mbps downloaded with 20 mbps upload with latency of 9, not sure if that even matters or what it means but who knows

Might be device software related but I have no room to suggest much of anything else

Is your phone updated with the latest IOS update? I have mine updated to iOS 18.3.2

It looks like it’s playing a frame and stopping and playing the next frame instead of skipping the frames.

OK, so this is the basic thing of iPhone just not being able to handle GIF this large. There is a reason why no major platform even allows GIFs any longer and they are just WebM or MP4 files with "GIF" label on top.
So basically only way to fix this is to downscale the GIF which isn't in interest of e621.

I still cannot reproduce any issues with Windows or Android and I do not own any Apple devices to test or troubleshoot any further, but this isn't the first time the massive resolution is an issue with that.

I downloaded it split it into frames and repackaged it back together as a new gif and it works fine on iPhone I have it saved locally

I wonder if it does have to then do something specific with the file formatting I'm not seeing.
I can also just transcode it from GIF to GIF myself and replace this posts file if that's all it takes. Just would need iPhone user to double verify it actually works so I'm not just resubmitting post for no reason.

EDIT: OK, I tried to optimize the file as good as possible and had another janitor with actual iPhone to check the files out. Original is apparently flickery headache inducing mess, further optimization was playing back slow, but this replacement was loading and playing OK.
Poke again if there's any issues here.
