-<small>_Psst,_ this is an automated issue because of a breaking change you need to be aware of. Issues like this will be opened very infrequently (I promise no spam!). However, if you want to disable these completely, you can set `disableAutomatedIssues: true` in your `.upptimerc` configuration file, but note that you'll have to fix your breaking changes manually by reviewing the [upptime/upptime](https://github.com/upptime/upptime) repository.
