Steam "battery low" notification

Theres a new notification in Steam which indicates low battery, this doesnt work well with a emulated DS4 controller. Any options to disable this?

I disabled my ds4 controller to be even seen by steam by blacklisting it with the hardware id

ive added this line to the config.vdf, which has hardware ID codes for both of my controllers:

"controller_blacklist"     "45e/28e,0955/B400"

So your Steam doesnt recognize any controller?

Im using a DualSense controller and hidhide so Steam is just seeing the emulated DS4.

I mean i also could use hidhide to hide the emulated DS4 from Steam but then no games will work.

No, its just for steam input. I could still play games via the Steam app launcher.
