So yeah this looks like its back to normal, now that i haven’t booted. After boot this seems to launch the .timer after 1 hour and then goes back to the schedule

EDIT: Just to reitarate, we know this is not optimal way of doing this and we have plans to move to the new uupd service at some point (GitHub - ublue-os/uupd)
