For some reason that I can't explain, akeeba backup shows me in the joomla 4 admin console, "backup required" every 2 days but I haven't scheduled akeeba backups. 
how can i prevent this ?

Thank you for your answer. 
That's what I thought, but I didn't get this message when my site was in joomla 3 version, hence my surprise when I saw this alert.
The only difference is that in Joomla3, backups were launched via the cron of our host which is no longer the case since the update to Joomla 4.
I will therefore modify the plugin as indicated in your answer.
You can close this ticket. THANKS YOU
