On all but one of the sites we've updated to 8.1.0.b1 running the Core package, the "Migration necessary" notification will not go away, no matter how many times we click the "More Details" button, or the "Start Migration" button on the migration page.  The one site running the Pro package (not on this same server, FWIW) doesn't persistently show it.

For the most part, the sites are all on a combination of PHP 7.4 (because PHP 8 compatibility in the WordPress ecosystem is still a joke) and WordPress 6.3.  There are a couple of outliers here; one site's on WP 5.5 and two sites are surprisingly running on PHP 8.0 (none of the outliers are the site where the notification cleared itself).

I went through the UI on the first 5 sites in my list (which includes the one that the message disappeared from), they all have [DEFAULT_OUTPUT] as the output path.

There aren't any backups left under the plugin path inspecting the output from ls -al /home/*/public_html/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/app/backups/

The output from ls -al /home/*/public_html/wp-content/backups shows the backups that still exist on the server were moved, but a few of the folders have no backups (either we nuked them clearing out old stuff without deleting the backup record in the database or they've been downloaded and moved elsewhere, there are server and platform level backups so not everything has a timely Akeeba backup).

For S&G, I cleared the backup records on one of the sites where there weren't any actual JPAs left on the server, and the notification disappeared there.

Installed it, now I have a SQL error on the migration page.

RuntimeException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 3 SQL=UPDATE `wp_ak_stats` SET `filesexist` = 0 WHERE `id` IN ()

Looks like it's cleared up on sites updated to the dev build.
