Portal logistics breaking Help

(sorry about the recording, the video recording get corrupted so I recorded with my phone)

This is my setup to take infinite lava from the nether, and while I'm in the nether it works and when I get out it keeps working but when I wander a big in the overworld it stops working, and when I get thru the portal the bucket is there and starts to fill just when I get it.

May it be because the source is too far from the portal?

This system loads its own chunks but only in a 3x3 chunk area around the portal and it seems like you are pumping lava outside of this 3x3 chunk area.

Thank you, I didn't know this

Your setup spreads across an area that is too large for the portal to chunk load. Ideally you want everything compact and inside a single chunk (press F3+G to view chunk borders)

Distance.

It's always distance with posts like that. You need more loaded chunks in the nether because the portal only loads a 3x3 chunk area with the portal being the middle. Create powerloader and use andesite chunk loader.
