Solution

Your input is not a valid protocol buffer.

It appears to be cut off mid-message. The last top-level field is a length-delimited field of 10 bytes, but the message ends after only 9 bytes. Hence, there is at least one byte missing. There could be more bytes missing, if additional fields were supposed to appear.
Even if the message did not cut off prematurely, it does not appear to match the type you are parsing as. The message appears to have fields:
```
uint32 a = 1;
fixed32 b = 2;
int32 c = 3;
SomeMessageType d = 4;
SomeMessageType e = 5;
```
These field declarations do not line up with the PulseFlagData type you gave.

Here's the raw data broken down by field:

08 35                       // 1: [u]int32, = 53
15 60485958                 // 2: fixed32,  = 1615354200
18 40                       // 3: [u]int32, = 64
22 0a 0d6048595815bdf42642  // 4: sub-message, length 10
  0d 60485958               //   1: fixed32, = 1615354200
  15 bdf42642               //   2: fixed32, = 3186894402
2a 0a 0d7047595815bdf426    // 5: sub-message, length 10, incomplete
  0d 70475958               //   1: fixed32, = 1883724120
  15 bdf426                 //   2: fixed32, incomplete
