 * Hi,
 * the plugin stopped working and I don’t know why. Here’s the story:
    Blog is on
   WP 3.7, plugin updates itself from 0.9.1 to 1.0. A couple of minutes later it
   updates WP from 3.7 to 3.7.1 no problems.
 * I then set AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED to true in wp-config.
    Today, a couple 
   of days later, I realize there actually ARE updates and I change my mind, so 
   I comment the line with AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED in my wp-config.
 * A day has passed since then, but nothing happened. There are still updates to
   install, but they don’t get installed automatically.
 * I have all 4 checkboxes set in the plugin settings, set no different email adress,
   don’t have a mark in the “deactivate mail” checkbox and set debug info to always.
 * Any ideas?

 * Oh, nevermind, the email just arrived. Seems I wasn’t patient enough…

 * As you’ve discovered, updates don’t happen immediately any more – they actually
   happen around 7am or 7pm according to your server time. This is intentional on
   the part of WordPress Core, to spread out updates over a longer period.
 * In a future plugin release, I’ll add an option to install updates as soon as 
   they become available.
