Are you talking about a specific iOS version where that supposedly happened? I have plenty running without a notification and I’m pretty sure iOS 17 expands the shortcuts that can run without notification
I was referring to automation for the notification part as some “useful” automations would send a notification to ask you whether to run or not such as perform an action if you enter or exit a zone.
You can create a focus mode and link it with a zone then perform an action based on that focus mode.
I opted for Home Assistant to handle my automations and never looked back.
If you’re happy with your current setup that’s great and you should probably stick with it. However, if I’m reading this screen here correctly it sounds to me like you can automatically run location based automations in iOS 17 without the confirmation.
What exactly do you mean by speed throttling, that the shortcuts run too slowly? I’d assume they run bad enough by themselves without Apple artificially slowing things down, but maybe they actually do something like that to preserve battery.
Shortcuts is dead for me after they throttle its speed and made notifications mandatory.

Sorry I didn’t clarify what I mean.

It’d be great if they fix it. I’m sure it’ll not be taxing my battery as much as Home Assistant.
What about speed throttling? Is it improved?

I have like 15 alarms total and once apple introduced Shortcuts, I created one to turn all of them off by iterating and turn them off one by one.
It use to take a split of a second, however after each iOS update, it’ll get slower and slower.
Now it’ll take like 5-7 seconds to execute and the iPhone screen must be on for the whole 5-7 seconds otherwise it’ll abort.
Many people are facing this issue as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/t1pmwf/my_shortcuts_are_painfully_slow_im_still_using_an/
If you want to share that shortcut I’ll try it out (12 pro & iOS 17) and let you know how long it took
