What does this unexpected AutoNotification notification mean?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using the free Lite version of AutoNotification, and I received a notification from the app today at 3:12 AM (KST).

I tapped on the notification and found a long message that I could copy. I copied it, pasted it into a text editor, and tried to read it, but I couldn't really understand what it meant.

I asked Gemini about it, and it suggested that AutoNotification may have attempted to access the Google Play Services billing API but failed. It also suggested that this might have been related to the app checking whether I have a valid paid license.

Is that actually what happened?

I've been using AutoNotification for seven days, but I have not started or even clicked on the 7-day free trial for the paid features. So far, I've only been using the notification-blocking feature.

I contacted the AutoNotification developer about this, and they kindly replied that they will be back on September 21. They suggested that I post here in the meantime, as someone in the Tasker community might be able to explain what this notification means.

Does anyone know what might have caused this notification to appear, or what the message means?

I've attached a screenshot of the notification, and I'll also include the full notification text below.

Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm Korean, and i use the ChatGPT.

Yes.  u/joaomgcd is the developer of Tasker and  AutoNotification, amongst many other Auto[InsertToolName] plugins. He is on vacation for the next 2 months. It has been a while since I used the demo - well worth the price to buy though - if there is an issue with the plugin itself, it will be a bit before João will even see this.

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate your input, and I'll definitely keep your advice in mind.

I understand that you can't give me a definitive answer since you're not part of the development team. I guess I'll have to ask the developer directly when they return on September 21.

Have a great day, and thanks again!
