Bug summary
Surface is not rendered properly after changing the data using set_verts: the simple MWE below shows the effect.
Code for reproduction
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
x = np.array([10, -10])
y = np.array([25, -25])
z = 5
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = z * np.ones_like(X)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4.5))
ax = fig.add_subplot(projection="3d")
ax.axes.set_xlim3d(left=-15, right=15)
ax.axes.set_ylim3d(bottom=-30, top=30)
ax.axes.set_zlim3d(bottom=0, top=10)
surf = ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, color="r", alpha=0.3)
plt.pause(1.0)
time = np.linspace(0, 5, 101)
for t in time:
zt = z + 2 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
Z = zt * np.ones_like(X)
verts = np.array([X, Y, Z]).T.reshape(4, 3)
surf.set_verts(verts)
plt.pause(0.1)
Actual outcome

Expected outcome
The full surface, as is shown prior to updating using set_verts should be shown:
