so I really don't know what happened because I've not touched/changed anything.

The service outage affected also conncheck.opensuse.org, so that's why you see that. It's part of NM's connectivity checking. Should you want to disable it, add

interval=0

to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf under the "uri" in the [connectivity] section. A restart of NM is required to put this into effect.

Thanks for the suggestion, it is the same workaround which Malcolm has posted by the Forum. Beside the issue itself I really don't know why NM needs to check the connectivity and furthermore why in case of failure it opens a big notification window on the user desktop. IMHO from one side such NM behavior looks like a sort of a "spyware" and from the other side appears to be a bad design of its notification section. But these are just my very personal impressions.
