Public bug reported:

Hi,

We see frequent request spikes to changelogs.ubuntu.com. It turns out
it's related to the release-upgrade-motd being called from cron.weekly.
Can we spread this out over a period of time? Perhaps changing it over
to using systemd timers much like we do with apt update these days?

** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1836475
   update-notifier-common weekly cron job runs at the same time for all computers across the globe
