Description of issue:
TL’DR: The warning about “custom formats have a score 0 below series profile minimum 1” persists, even though there are no custom formats with a score of 0.
Setup Overview
1. Quality Profile

2. Custom Formats

3. Custom Format Scoring Settings
- Minimum Custom Format Score: 1
- Upgrade Until Custom Format Score: 1000
4. Series Assignment
- All relevant anime series are assigned to the “Anime – 1080p SubsPlease” profile.
- There are no series-level overrides or per-series custom format settings.
The Issue
Despite the above configuration, Sonarr displays the following warning:
“Custom formats have a score 0 below series profile minimum 1.”
Key Points:
- There is only one custom format (“SubsPlease”) linked to the profile, and its score is 1000.
- No other custom formats (active, hidden, or legacy) exist in the system.
- The minimum custom format score in the profile is set to 1.
- The correct profile is assigned to all relevant series.
- No series-level overrides are present.
- Sonarr is successfully grabbing SubsPlease releases as intended.
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken
- Verified the profile and custom format linkage.
- Confirmed there are no other custom formats in the system.
- Checked for hidden or legacy formats.
- Ensured the correct profile is assigned to all series.
- Checked for and confirmed no series-level overrides.
- Restarted Sonarr after making changes.
- Forced a full series refresh and scan.
- Checked logs for any related errors or clues.
- Confirmed that Sonarr is functioning as expected aside from the persistent warning.
What’s Happening
- The warning about “custom formats have a score 0 below series profile minimum 1” persists, even though there are no custom formats with a score of 0.
- All settings appear correct, and Sonarr is working as intended (downloads and upgrades are happening as expected).
- The warning seems to be cosmetic, cached, or possibly a UI bug.
What I Need Help With
- Why is this warning still showing, even though all custom formats linked to the profile have a score above the minimum?
- Is there a hidden configuration or database issue that could cause this?
- Is this a known bug or cosmetic issue in the current version?
- Any steps to clear or resolve this warning beyond what has already been tried?
