Pending update of brave snap. Close the app to avoid disruptions
See original GitHub issueOver the last weeks, everyday I get this notification. There is no malfunctioning, I just get the notification, which is pretty annoying since there is no further descriptions and I don’t know what I should do about that. I ran the command sudo snap refresh, as I found here but nothing changed.
I’m on Ubuntu 20.04
Steps to Reproduce
Nothing in particular. The notification displays by itself when I turn the computer on or randomly during the day.
Actual result:

Reproduces how often:
Every day
Brave version (brave://version info)
1.40.107 Chromium: 103.0.5060.53

This is a problem on Snap’s side, not Brave. Kill the Brave browser and refresh snap apps.
I wrote a script to detect this issue, detect when the app is closed, and automatically perform the snap refresh. https://gitlab.com/rahvee/snap-update
