Google with a warning symbol in my screen time

I recently got the Big Sur update and I was looking at my screen time. While I was looking at it I noticed two google icons. One of them had a warning sign. I couldn't find any information about it when I looked it up online. I also use a VPN sometimes in case that is related. Does anyone know anything about this and if I should be worried?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

Verify your Chrome version is up to date. No issue.

A screen shot would help to exemplify the exact warning— I suspect you can safely ignore this.


VPN are known to cause issues—


A true VPN tunnel, for example between you and your job, or a Bank server would be of value, otherwise might be time to re-think the usage.
