Ok, I'm now even more confused than @razorRun . I have a swag of nodes. I have NR 1.0.3 or later. Every now and then I go in and update any often used nodes that are WAY behind on updates. Yet, what you ( @Paul-Reed ) they are supposed to update themselves?

@razorRun we no longer scan for updates to the flow library automatically. This post gives the background: ⚠️Flow Library not detecting updated modules
