The rule for when that reminder is used has been rewritten. It now depends on a mode check, and a task running in the background only counts when that check and one more condition both hold.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you use a custom output style with a waiting reminder, it may now appear at different times than before.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
