Plymouth only displays for 2 sec outof 15 sec boot sequence

I went through arch-wiki of plymouth, silent_boot, systemd-boot. Switched to systemd-boot because grub-silent package was out-of-date. This is what my boot_Sequence looks like -->

Power_Button_Pressed-----Black_Screen(3 sec)----OEM_logo(4sec)----Black_Screen(3 sec)----Plymouth(2 sec)----Black_Screen(2 sec)----Sddm----Black_Screen_with_cursor(2 sec)---DesktopEnvironment----poweroff----Black_Screen(1.5 sec)----Plymouth(2 sec)

/boot/loader/loader.conf

default arch-zen.conf
timeout  0
console-mode max
editor   no

cat /proc/cmdline (edited to show only plymouth affecting parameters)

quiet splash loglevel=3  fbcon=nodefer vt.global_cursor_default=0

I tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/plymou … transition, for this i removed `plymouth` from initramfs. But this makes my system stuck at black-screen after plymouth indefinitely.

I tried finding some videos on youtube to see what plymouth experience should look like. Is this how plymouth should be working? My problem is with Black_Screen, Most of my time is spent on black screen.
