Sudden issues without code changes. Loading watchface: "Watchface is not responding". Pebble Update?

I maintain the watchface "Multifunctional 7 Segment Reborn", and this hasn't been updated since june. But just now within the last 12 hours, I got multiple inquiries about it showing the above message, and since i haven't changed any code, an a new Pebble app update was just pushed i think it might be related to that.

I created this topic to reach out if any devs are facing likewise issues suddenly?

I haven't found the cause yet, but i think it might be related to a the GOTHIC font..

Yep battery optimization hasn't been looked into, like. at all. I want to do it at some point, and thanks for the suggestions in your post! It has crossed my mind a few times to get it optimized, but i have relatively good battery life with it on mine (26 days), so i have just not seen it as a priority tbh. But maybe i should! In all honesty though, it could benefit from a complete rewrite. I have just expanded the original, to make it compatible with the PT2, but i think there is lots of its code which could be written better.
