Long time Cron user here. Cron just uninstalled itself during an update and I had to find this announcement manually. Not a good look.

After downloading the new app, I now get this error:

> This app has reached its sign-in rate limit for now.

Did you not consider the migration path for existing users?

Quite frustrated about this.

It also didn't restart the app for me, so took me until I missed the starting of a meeting to realize the workflow was broken, and THEN my launcher app couldn't find the name Cron (IE, the aforementioned uninstall). Then, opened it finally, and had to also redo Google SSO Auth, but there's a malformed request error (that seems to be a Google issue...) and I can't log in.

Exact same for me. Was late for my meeting because Cron just deleted itself from my computer entirely. Super annoying
Same exact thing happened to me. Super frustrating. I'm ready to just leave it uninstalled at this point.

I'll probably switch to Sunsama or give Amie a try again

It's not uninstalled. It updated itself to Notion Calendar. Probably kept the old app bundle ID
+1 for this, I didn’t even know they had gotten acquired by Notion at all. It just updated and disappeared, this article was how I found out why!
Happened the same to me and I thought of some updater glitch until I visited their website.

The schedule links I created with cron seem to be not working as well.

Sounds like Notion ownership to me!
