Automatic updates not happening

Bluefin

My automatic updates seem to have stopped happening.
I ran ujust update on Feb 16th, but had no updates since, nor flatpak updates either.
Here’s my current status…

rpm-ostree status
State: idle
AutomaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: no runs since boot
Deployments:

Not sure how to fix this, so any help would be much appreciated.

(btw I’m on Bluefin stable and would expect weekly updates)

what do you get if you try with ujust update in terminal?

Also you can check the updater status
systemctl status rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer

As I said, I did a manual update using ujust update on Feb 16 - that was my last update.

It seems the update timer is triggered by a reboot, so in theory if I was to reboot more often than once per week, I would never get any updates! I generally just suspend my laptop at the end of the day and only reboot if ostree status shows me an update.
