Notification sent to all users after upgrade

What is strange is that all the unit tests that validate that rule are still green 🤔

@saidatom could you have a look at it?

FYI "Notification User Before Deletion = 23 months" means that users will be notified up to 23 months in advance.

So that might explain the behavior you observe.

@saidatom can you confirm?

Added a warning message on the module message about that BC breaking change with 4.x version.

This was not the case until 26th April! If you fundamentally change the rules like this you need to communicate it clearly.

There's no description below 'Value' on the form either, so we're left guessing - not great UX.

We are very sorry for this last minute change, but it seemed important before we released that new major version.

I'll see what I can do to improve the field labelling. Feel free to share any idea you could have about that.

@matt-b does it feel better presented like this?

Re-opening this. I changed the notification value to 1 month and emails are still going out!

Please revert the change made to rc2.

Could you provide a repeatable test scenario from a fresh Drupal 11 install?

If there is a bug, we will fix it as soon as possible.

Sorry, no. I have a very demanding day job and run 1 drupal site in my spare time for a charity. We're on Drupal 10, I don't have the capacity to investigate this further. For now I'll be updating my composer.json to use the rc2 as it worked fine.

as it is spamming thousands of users I believe notfications are batched to cron. In my devtest this only runs while the environments are active which is why I may still be seeing notifications (re-directed to a test inbox) after changing the parameters. Is there a way to 'unbatch' these?

Reverting to 4.0-rc2 and manually purged gave only 2 notifications (correctly). Once the batch has cleared I'll look at 4.0 again.

You should be able to clear the notification_users queue using the queue_ui module I guess...
