You can just run cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades or less /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to see the file content and then copy-paste the output.
But when the content is too long, the simplest way is to run the command less /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades | yunopaste and share the generated link.

Alright - as you can tell, I’m reall new to this. Didn’t get, that that was a file. The output is the following:
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
// Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern controls which packages are
// upgraded.
//
// Lines below have the format "keyword=value,...". A
// package will be upgraded only if the values in its metadata match
// all the supplied keywords in a line. (In other words, omitted
// keywords are wild cards.) The keywords originate from the Release
// file, but several aliases are accepted. The accepted keywords are:
// a,archive,suite (eg, "stable")
// c,component (eg, "main", "contrib", "non-free")
// l,label (eg, "Debian", "Debian-Security")
// o,origin (eg, "Debian", "Unofficial Multimedia Packages")
// n,codename (eg, "jessie", "jessie-updates")
// site (eg, "http.debian.net")
// The available values on the system are printed by the command
// "apt-cache policy", and can be debugged by running
// "unattended-upgrades -d" and looking at the log file.
//
// Within lines unattended-upgrades allows 2 macros whose values are
// derived from /etc/debian_version:
// ${distro_id} Installed origin.
// ${distro_codename} Installed codename (eg, "buster")
Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern {
// Codename based matching:
// This will follow the migration of a release through different
// archives (e.g. from testing to stable and later oldstable).
// Software will be the latest available for the named release,
// but the Debian release itself will not be automatically upgraded.
// "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename}-updates";
// "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename}-proposed-updates";
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian";
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security";
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename}-security,label=Debian-Security";
// Archive or Suite based matching:
// Note that this will silently match a different release after
// migration to the specified archive (e.g. testing becomes the
// new stable).
// "o=Debian,a=stable";
// "o=Debian,a=stable-updates";
// "o=Debian,a=proposed-updates";
// "o=Debian Backports,a=${distro_codename}-backports,l=Debian Backports";

// "libc6$";
// "libc6-dev$";
// "libc6-i686$";
// Special characters need escaping
// "libstdc\+\+6$";

Ok. The current settings only allow security updates and those from the main repository.
We need to see which updates are not being applied.
You’ll likely need to add additional parameters so that certain updates can be applied.
This is what I upgraded today, after installing the auto upgrade applcation ~ a month ago and upgrading everything manually.
The following packages will be upgraded:
+ php8.2 php8.2-bcmath php8.2-bz2 php8.2-cli php8.2-common php8.2-curl
+ php8.2-fpm php8.2-gd php8.2-gmp php8.2-imap php8.2-intl php8.2-ldap
+ php8.2-mbstring php8.2-mysql php8.2-opcache php8.2-phpdbg php8.2-readline
+ php8.2-sqlite3 php8.2-xml php8.2-zip php8.3 php8.3-bcmath php8.3-bz2
+ php8.3-cli php8.3-common php8.3-curl php8.3-fpm php8.3-gd php8.3-gmp
+ php8.3-imap php8.3-intl php8.3-ldap php8.3-mbstring php8.3-mysql
+ php8.3-opcache php8.3-readline php8.3-sqlite3 php8.3-xml php8.3-zip
+ 39 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Additionally the applications nextcloud and collabora online were upgraded - would love if those auto upgrade as well.
Does this help in order for you to know which settings to update?
Yes, it does. Could you share the output of apt-cache policy php8.3-cli?
AFAIK, unattended-upgrades only updates apt-packages so I don’t think yunohost apps could be upgraded this way.
Well. I dunno why I thought it did, but that is the clarification I needed. Thank you. Perhaps the documentation could be updated to reflect this more clearly? Because what it says currently is:
automatically install security updates (or all updates if selected)
Additionally is there no way to automatically update Yunohost packages?
