What did it say exactly?  
I know there’s a warning whenever you put in ceramic because of drainage, but it can be bypassed.

Yes you can bypass drainage but you shouldn’t. You will succumb to root rot eventually if you do not have drainage.

Depends on the situation and what plant it is

Lift the plant out of the pot and do a wellness check. Check the roots that they aren’t super competed at the bottom. Check for root rot. Pests. Drainage. If all is good just snooze the notification.

Compacted

if you click “more instructions” on the repotting task, there’s a page that tells you when a plant is ready to repotted, and to skip or snooze if it’s happy in its current arrangement

Spring is usually when it is recommended to repot plants, some every year, some every couple years or so. If you haven’t repotted in that time Planta reminds you. You can always snooze or skip if you check your plants and it’s unnecessary
