Hi,

We have at least several merchants using HikaAuction on PHP8.

What you're describing means that there is a fatal error on PHP 8 during the sending of the emails. But it's hard to say where without the error message.
Normally, if you check the PHP error log of your server, you should find the error messages.
Otherwise, you can temporarily switch to PHP8 again, activate the debug option of the Joomla configuration and manually trigger the cron by opening the URL of the cron in the browser to get the error message directly displayed.

Hi,

The "500 Internal Server Error" confirms that there is a PHP error somewhere.
In such case, PHP will output an error message, AND will log the error message in the PHP error log.
So if you can look into the PHP error log, you'll find the "fatal error" message relative to the issue and that will allow us to tell you what to do.
You can also run the cron URL in the browser. The message "0 - Unknown format specifier "C"" is the abreviated error message. This is what Joomla displays when the "debug" setting of the Joomla configuration is turned off.
Did you make sure to activate that setting before running the cron URL in your browser ?
Also, some templates have a custom error page, hiding the full error message. So if you don't get the full error message even though you have the debug setting activated, please rename the file templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/error.php via FTP and try again.
