Actual behaviour: However, I am also receiving notifications that tell me about Pro-only updates when I am not subscribed to Pro and there are no other updates I can receive. Expected behaviour: if I have taken a decision not to subscribe to Pro, then while I can expect to be told about Pro updates that I can subscribe to while being told about other updates, I do not expect to receive "Pro only" notifications with no other information. Screenshot attached. See also: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@DamonWakes/111954751164015449 I suggest the following rule of thumb: we should never generate a *new* notification that displays only Pro updates unless the user has opted in to Pro. In other words, unsolicited notices about Pro can "piggy-back" on existing notifications that would have happened anyway, but must not create any new pop ups.
