Notifications are 10 seconded delayed

KM's notifications are taking about 10 seconds; they used to be instantaneous. This is also after a fresh reboot, with KM being the only application running. When opening activity monitor, system load is hovering <5%. The notifications always appear after about 10 seconds - the delay is not variable, it appears.

Hey, I noticed that too. I thought it was just me. (I counted 11 seconds, not 10, but who knows.)

Mine are showing up instantly here (KM 11.0.3 using both macOS 14.7.1 and macOS 15.2).

-rob.

I'm also on KM 11.0.3 with macOS 15. I think it started about a week ago. However today it seems back to normal.

When it was failing, I turned on the debugger, I saw the Notification action run, and complete, and there was nothing else in the KM Engine running, but it still took about 11 seconds for the notifications to appear. Even if I queued up 5 or more notifications, all 5 appeared about 11 seconds later. I did dozens of tests, and they all were delayed by 11 seconds.

I'm not really sure if this was a KM issue or a macOS issue. I suggest that @JS2000 turn off the KM Engine about two seconds after triggering a notification, to see if the Engine is the problem or not. I'm guessing it's a macOS problem.

Quitting engine soon after macro execution also results in a delayed notification meaning that the OS is the issue.

However, I found a forum talking about Apple Intelligence being the issue, and this turned out to be true as turning off Apple Intelligence restores functionality.

Interestingly, if you turn ON summarize previews, it also fixes the notifications issue, so you can leave Apple Intelligence on and just summarize previews if you wish.

I've been battling this for days! Wish I had thought to look here first. Glad to see I'm not the only one facing these delays. I make heavy use of notifications in my macros, so this is a definite bummer. Staying tuned!
