When I go to /admin/reports/updates there is a little widget that tells me when the system last checked for updates. Historically, this figure never seemed to exceed 24 hours. That is, the system seemed to automatically check for updates every day.

Ever since upgrading my site from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9, the automatic update check mechanism doesn't appear to work any longer. If I navigate to that page, I may see that updates haven't been checked for in multiple days. How can I fix this to check daily? I am guessing there is something that got lost in translation during the upgrade. Maybe I need to clear some field in the database to reset this? I can run the "check manually" option successfully, than that works and updates the counter. The only issue is that it doesn't seem to be happening automatically anymore.

Is cron running on the site? What is the configuration on the update module settings tab?

Well... I'm an idiot. The Settings tab shows that it's set to "weekly". That must be it. I didn't even know that settings tab was there. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @cilefen!
