When posting notification payloads to APNS via the Push Notifications Console or a server/script, the payload is marked as delivered to APNS.

Subsequent delivery from APNS to the device fails under various circumstances, a newly discovered one begin: 
> discarded as device was offline


apns-unique-id: [REDACTED]
payload:
```
[REDACTED]
```

This is a background notification, as can be determined by the `content-available: 1` attribute in the payload.

The device in question is my Mac which I’ve been using to send payloads to APNS. So it’s clearly online, and is able to receive remote notifications from other apps. 

Furthermore, rebooting the Mac and dispatching a notification again yields the same error: “discarded as device was offline”.
Such payloads can be dispatched from the Push Notifications Console or a script/server. It mostly yields the same error.

When dispatching notifications from a script/server: the expiry of the notification is set to an hour later from the time of creating the payload. However, even after an hour has elapsed, no notification is received on the device.

Requests: 

1. In the event that a device is actually powered down or in sleep mode, preventing the notification from being delivered, but it becomes available within the expiry time frame, the notification should be delivered to the device, and not discarded.

2. Kindly allow debugging of all development notifications scheduled from any origin in the Push Notifications Console, so developers can debug delivery issues when dispatching notifications from a server/script.
