I just googled your assumption regarding throttling and found the following:
Android 9: Each foreground app can scan four times in a 2-minute period. This allows for a burst of scans in a short time.
All background apps combined can scan one time in a 30-minute period.
Android 10 and higher: The same throttling limits from Android 9 apply. There is a new developer option to toggle the throttling off for local testing (under Developer Options > Networking > Wi-Fi scan throttling).
See: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifi-scan#wifi-scan-throttling
I guess we can close this then.

Versions
Please include the plugin version that you are using and also include the OS, version and device you are using.
Plugin version: 3.1.1 Android: 9 Cordova: 9.0.0
EDIT: Maybe it has to do something with calling it too often and throttling of WiFi happens and the OS is blocking it? If someone more experienced can clarify this in more details I would appreciate it.
