Do you use Whatsapp / Messenger regularly for social stuff? Coincidentally I was looking at my Digital Well-being settings in Android today and was told that I get over 170 notifications from Messenger a day.

I do. But I can't say I'm that popular! They are also muted and don't vibrate.

Most people I talk to work at the same time as me, so to get a social message during the day would be unusual.

Everyone knows to call if it matters.

Note: also be aware that the digital wellbeing count counts updates to an existing notification as a notification. As such my morning alarm counts a few dozen notifications (alarm in 8hrs, alarm in 7hrs, 30mins, 2 mins, etc.)

What kind of reminders to eat are you getting? Like "don't forget to eat?" or "don't forget, this is your plan for lunch"?

I'd assume some sort of "go eat now, it's time" scheme, so he can stay in deep flow without neglecting his food intake.

You got it!

For me neglecting food intake means:

If I don't eat enough I get grumpy. This lowers the quality of life of myself and my loved ones. Alternatively if I get hungry it can cause me to over-snack (justified by anti-grumps thoughts); then I get fat and lower my quality of life slightly slower.

So these notifications are perhaps the most important ones.
