Using the QGIS "Generate XYZ Tiles (mbtiles)" tool I created an mbtile tileset. My input source was a 3-band RGB raster with CRS: EPSG:3857 - WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator - Projected. I used minimum zoom of 1 and maximum zoom of 7.

Upon uploading to Mapbox my tileset ended up looking like this at zoom: 3.24 enter image description here

After zooming to 3.53: enter image description here

Upon zooming the tileset I uploaded it becomes misaligned with the basemap and I end up with some disjoint tiles too. What is causing the tileset to "shift" projection at this zoom and return hanging tile?

Update 1

I ran the same operation again, XYZ in QGIS and upload to Mapbox Studio, same issue. However, on a smaller dataset I did not experience the same issue after going through the same process. I'm befuddled.

This turned out to be an issue related to the extents input for the QGIS "Generate XYZ Tiles (mbtiles)" tool. I was using the "Calculate from layer" option to populate the extents. However, those extents were beyond the defined EPSG:3857 - WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator - Projected extents. So, after reigning in the extent bounds and re-running, the uploaded mbtiles looked great.

Solution:

Don't allow the extents to exceed the projections bounding box when using the QGIS "Generate XYZ Tiles (mbtiles)" tool.
