I created a pattern and dragged it to the swatches panel. Now I keep getting this dialog every time I double click the pattern in the swatches panel to open the pattern editor mode.

A clipping mask was created around the pattern tile bounds to preserve
legacy pattern appearance.

For best results, release the clipping mask when changing the tile
size or editing art that overlaps the tile edge.

You probably created the pattern and have a clipping mask around it, meaning that it clips (cut's off) surrounding artwork to fit into a shape:

You can undo (release) this by: Right click→Release Clipping Mask

How clipping masks work:

Left side: Pattern + shape I want to crop it into

Right side: Clipping result
