Default A8 Shudder

I know this subject has been discussed many times. Very confusing with all the inputs. What is the A8 transmission "shudder"? What does it feel like? How long does it last? When does it happen, during shifting or cruising? What speed does it happen and how do you differentiate it from vibrations from the road? I have a 2019 Stingray, auto, and sometimes when accelerating, the shift points are not very smooth. Is this related to the "A8 Shudder"?

When the shudder happens, you are cruising along and suddenly it sounds and feels like you are driving over road rumble sticks.
