The problem

Describe precisely the problem you're facing and add screenshots to illustrate

On the the Sunday of summer time to winter time switch, at 10:00, the Advanced Privacy notifications keeps popping up repeatedly until 11:00. In the app itself the reports are succeeding crazily one after the other creating an overlapping and making them unreadable.

This will over-consume battery for one hour, but should not have other impact on the device.

To avoid this situation, user could change time on the device to skip the 10:00 - 11:00 period on this Sunday (or simply turn of the phone during this period).

Steps to reproduce

  • Set the time-zone to one with summer time : for instance region = France
  • Change date and time to Sunday 2025-10-26 10:10
  • Force-stop Advanced-Privacy, and restart it
  • observe the issue.

AdvancedPrivacy add 11 hours after midnight to schedules next report. On the summer to winter time day, midnight + 11 hours is 10:00 (not 11:00). It ends scheduling the next report in the past (which execute immediately), instead of the next week ; starting the loop.
