Hi Rafal! You absolutely do not need to unsubscribe! It's not broken and you've done nothing wrong. It's simply an informational message about something they've implemented to keep the JVM from taking up too many resources.

You can find a staff member explaining it on this thread.

Hang in there and keep coding! :sparkles:

I've also seen somewhere in the Teacher's notes of a video with Craig Dennis mentioning it, I believe. But I'm having a hard time locating it right now.
