I have got this message after Today’s update. I remember similar message was there earlier.

It simply means the mirror ranking process has detected a poorly updated mirror. This should cause no problem unless that is your only or first mirror.

Note that the message applies only to one of the EndeavourOS mirrors, not Arch mirrors.
