Hello and thank you for requesting help.
If I understand correctly, it seems that you saw a message saying "Your Pi-Apps installation is somehow 3 months out-of-date. Reinstalling Pi-Apps and saving the old version to /home/kali/pi-apps-3-months-old..."
If you saw this message ONCE, then it simply means pi-apps was not given the chance to update for 3 months. This behavior is normal.
But are you seeing the message repeatedly, over and over? That would not be normal.

fatal: bad object HEAD

that is output from git (I believe the git pull in the update script) and is very concerning. What this appears to me is either:
A: corruption on the storage
B: errors caused by whatever emulation/translation/containerization method you are using to run kali on your phone

Please attempt to manually clone the repo and execute standard git operations on it in a testing folder. If any commands return in error then there is nothing we can do.

set -o xtrace
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps.git
cd pi-apps
git pull
git show -s --format=%ct
date +%s

attach the entire output as a comment

@Sota4Ever Please respond.

Well, I actually left it like that for a while until it updated automatically and then it worked, 2 hours for it to fix itself

Let us know if this keeps happening, or if anything else seems to be unusual.
