The word “Critical” implies “_should work at all times_”, which is probably not the case with Homey. I wonder: because Push notifications can get rate limited, both by Homey and Android: Are Critical push notifications built as a separate “service”? Or does it just go down along with activated rate limits from the regular push notifications service? ---
