In Amphetamine when always starting or stopping sessions, macOS asks for my password for osascript to make changes. How can I fix it?

I had opened Amphetamine for the first time in a while, and it said it needed a script to work, which I allowed. The problem is that every single time I want to start and stop sessions, it asks for my password. How can I make it stop asking every time?

What version? Version 5.3 is the latest. I would update or reinstall from Mac App Store. Then report back.

Yeah I'm on version 5.3

What do you see under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation > osascript? Or maybe Amphetamine under Automation?

They're all turned on

Having the same issue suddenly with Amphetamine on an Apple M1. Prompt comes up multiple times when I start a new session. I went to the App Store and there is a note from the developer on this issue. Basically, there is nothing to do about it: However, if you choose "skip" when prompted to install the script, it will no longer request permission to run; you will get a "closed display mode session error" if you connect or disconnect from a power source.

The App Store is full of similar apps, just search for caffeine.
