Shortcuts - Automation failed

Hi,

I've created a simple automation in Shortcuts - when iPhone connects to Carplay -> play Apple Music Hits.

And it works with no problem :) When I connect the phone to Carplay, it starts to play Appel Music Hits with no problem at all.

However, every time, the iPhone also shows this error message:

Automation failed "When CarPlay connects" encountered an error: The command did not provide a status.

Any idea of what to do? Everything works, so why this message?

iPhone 11

shortcuts automation failed: took too long to run I have a shortcuts automation that plays a song from my music library when the battery level is 100%. I want to be notified so I can unplug the charger. See settings below. The automation is working, but it keeps generating an error about 5 minutes after it's done. I usually stop the song from playing a few seconds after it starts. "automation failed: took too long to run" Is this a bug? I think this was also happening in iOS 15. I already tried deleting and recreating the shortcut which didn't fix it. iPhone 12 iOS 16.0.2

Shortcut play music not working. iPhone 12 I have a shortcut on my new iPhone 12 to play music when it connects to my car's bluetooth. On my previous phone(iPhone SE Second Edition it worked great but doesn't work on my new iPhone 12 it doesn't work after the memory/settings/etc was ported over to this phone. I tried recreating it and no difference. I tried many other things like turning the phone and the shortcut off and back on again. I've had similar issues with other shortcuts. "Hey Siri play music" works great so I am getting used to doing that when I get in my car. I've tried using it with other bluetooth devices like my headphones and it doesn't work either. After a while I get an error notification saying the shortcut timed out and that Automation failed with an error code like "Automation 1E2CA1A3-7749-4605-990E-3FFD7746DD34"
