I started taking birth control pills for the 2nd week. I skipped the pill on Saturday and today I took it a few hours late. This morning there was quite a lot of bleeding, not staining.
The pills are Aidee.
Do I have reasons to worry?

If you have just started the 2nd week of using Aidee tablets, it means that you have skipped the 6th tablet from the blister.
According to the Aidee package leaflet, if you forget a tablet in week 1, take the missed tablet as soon as possible.
If the pill is refilled within 12 hours of the standard time of pill use, contraceptive protection is maintained.
However, if more than 12 hours have passed, you should take the missed tablet as soon as the patient remembers it (even if it means taking two tablets at the same time), and take the next tablet at the usual time. Later, for the next 7 days, an additional contraceptive method (e.g. a condom) should be used. However, if you had unprotected intercourse in the week before you missed the pill, it is possible to get pregnant. In this case, you should consult your doctor urgently.
You can also take advantage of a paid teleconsultation in Polish arranged e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

If you are bleeding, you may be affected by a decrease in the effectiveness of Aidee. Bleeding can also result from irregular use of the preparation. I encourage you to choose a time so that you don't skip pills.
On the other hand, if this is your first package of medicine, it may also result from the adaptation period. Such irregular spotting or bleeding can occur for up to 3-6 months.
In case the bleeding is intense and does not subside, I encourage you to consult a doctor.
I attach a link to check the availability of Aidee and make a reservation in the selected pharmacy:
