WeakAuras isn't always detecting an enemy players cast in Classic

Using the built-in Cast trigger, sometimes it will fail to detect an enemy player is casting and not even show a cast bar.
Interestingly, even when using custom to check the combatlog for SPELL_CAST_START WA will occasionally miss a cast
video showcasing it, the top left is obviously my weakaura, bottom right is a standalone cast bar addon
aura_env.spells = {
[(GetSpellInfo(123456))] = 1.5, -- fear
[(GetSpellInfo(654321))] = 1.5, -- immo
[(GetSpellInfo(123123))] = 2, -- etc.
[(GetSpellInfo(654456))] = 2.5, -- change the spellIDs and durations
}
-- TRIGGER Custom - TSU - events - CLEU:SPELL_CAST_START:SPELL_CAST_FAILED PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED FRAME_UPDATE
function(allstates, event, _, subEvent, _, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, _, spellName)
if subEvent == "SPELL_CAST_START"
and sourceGUID == UnitGUID('target')
and CombatLog_Object_IsA(sourceFlags, COMBATLOG_FILTER_HOSTILE_PLAYERS)
and aura_env.spells[spellName]
then
allstates[""] = {
show = true,
changed = true,
progressType = "timed",
duration = aura_env.spells[spellName],
expirationTime = GetTime() + aura_env.spells[spellName],
name = destName or sourceName .. " - " .. spellName,
caster = sourceName,
autoHide = true
}
elseif allstates[""]
and (
event == "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED"
or (event == "FRAME_UPDATE" and GetUnitSpeed("target") > 0)
or subEvent == "SPELL_CAST_FAILED" and sourceGUID == UnitGUID("target")
)
then
allstates[""]show = false
allstates[""].changed = true
end
return true
end
Someone in the discord made this for me, but like I said the issue even happens with the default status casting trigger
