Using Node with firebase-admin authentication, does the jwt signing/verification function run locally or is it processed on Google’s servers?

Basically, I’m looking into offloading the synchronous(Node event loop-blocking, cpu intensive) JWT verification/signing methods with firebase-admin authentication, and couldn’t find a clear answer in the provided firebase sdk code or the documentation on whether or not Firebase runs these methods locally on the server that calls the method, or if Firebase is handling these on their own servers and sending back the result.
To put it another way, whom takes the CPU time burden of handling the JWT? One’s Node server calling eg. verifyIdToken(), etc… or Google’s auth servers?

Firebase Phone Auth not working with some phone numbers on real devices

I have implemented Firebase phone number authentication in my flutter application. I was working absolutely fine few weeks ago but from past 5 – 10 days I’m struggling with an unknown error. With some phone numbers it work perfectly fine but with others it fails to send otp with error code 39
“[smsretrieverhelper] sms verification code request failed: unknown status code: 17499 error code:39”
I can’t figure out what is the issue as it is correctly working for some phone numbers.
