    My auto update is also set to OFF I should conclude. So it was no auto-update.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I am sorry for the false alarm, the files that were modified was as a result of the update that was released today. Did you or one of your admin users update the plugin?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
