#update.clear_skipped shenanigans

Whenever an update to any of a series of entities becomes available, I have an update set to automatically update.skip it. The morning of the last Saturday of the month, I want to update.clear_skipped for all of those. My automation for this runs (every day at 6am, condition to be only last saturday of the month), but the skips were not cleared this past weekend.

I have two issues with this setup.

  1. When I clear_skipped in one automation (which indeed ran at 06:00:00), the trace timeline shows an error message "Clearing skipped update is not supported for update.mariadb_update". I assume this means said add-on needs to be updated and there is little I can do about this other than to just remove this from my list of entities to run this action for?

  2. There are a few entries in the logbook where it shows the update got skipped again when that clear_skipped automation ran. I guess that makes sense. The way to handle this, I assume, is to have a condition to skip if the day is NOT 'last saturday of the month'?
