I’d been using push notification on the PWA version of SN since it became available. Today I opened the app and noticed my push notifications setting had been unchecked without me doing so. Is this a bug?
iOS 16.5.1, PWA installed through Chrome

Yes, known bug but I realized I didn't create a ticket yet
It has to do with how push services behave. They may update your push subscription at any time and we have to update the push subscriptions of users in that case but the code which does that doesn't seem to work and isn't obvious to test. But I think it only requires some more research. We will definitely fix this soon-ish.
If someone is knowledgeable about this stuff and wants to look into it, this is the code: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/blob/master/sw/index.js#L66-L97
edit: Created a ticket now
I’d like to contribute to SN as a developer but I don’t really have the capacity right now. So instead I report bugs 😛
Reporting bugs is also very useful :) It lets us know that users really care / what users care about
Thank you for the prompt response!

Thanks for reporting. This has happened to me too. I think there's a bug when the browser attempts to update the subscription.
