My systemd service with type as notify doesn't start when the server goes to stand by starts up again

The first time I set up my systemd service, it works fine.

However, when I restart the server, the systemd service doesn't start, but it remains on activating.

Could someone give any tip of why this is happening?

Unit file:

[Unit]

I'm not sure what information I can provide here to help you help me. If I can provide anything, you can ask me in the comments, please.

Your unit file would be a start. It's status and logs as well.

I found out what was happening.

The App needed more time to start, but systemd was always killing it before it had time to start and notify. It only happens when booting because the App takes more time to start when the system is booting.

So I needed to add a larger TimeoutSec, then it worked fine.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
