Updater seems to try to check updates before signing in to a public WiFi.

GOS2023

I guess I have only 2 options now :

completely silence the offending error notification, for each app involved. (But I may miss legit errors)
OR, each time I enable/disable airplane mode (for a long time), disable/enable the VPN in GOS settings (too cumbersome for me, I will probably forget to re-enable)

GrapheneOS Our System Updater uses a scheduled job with internet access set as required. It only runs once the OS detects internet access is already working. This is already a feature it provides, not something it needs to implement.

What would have to be the circumstances for this notification to appear on a users' device?

If it's a question for me, I think I have explained it here : https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/5439-updater-seems-to-try-to-check-updates-before-signing-in-to-a-public-wifi/9

By the way, the statement you quote from @GrapheneOS is just false when you use a VPN. At least with the (probably) 2 most mentioned VPNs on this forum : Mullvad and Proton.

As a VPN user, I recommend to :

"silence" the network error notifications from "System Updater", "Apps", "Auditor", and forget about the battery wasted by the useless connection attempts.
And also completely disable "OS connectivity check" because until a fix is implemented, it adds no value in our situation. It only discloses information about an Android / GrapheneOS user being present on the network (as explained on Android issue tracker : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/250529027 )
