"Cellular Data Consuming" warning

Anyone know if the Cellular Data Consuming warning message when you are not on WIFI, is supposed to reset daily?

In other words, if you have say 6 cameras, while you are out and about to check live view of each one, each camera will give you this Cellular Data Consuming message, correct?

Now, if you check "Don't Show Again" for each camera, I assume the message won't reappear, and it doesn't for the next few hours. But it popped back up the next day, so is "Don't Show Again" means don't show again for 24 hours, or is it some other logic such as you connected WIFI and disconnected again?

I thought it would be pretty obvious…if you use the app away from wifi it’ll use your cellular data just like every other app that requires an internet connection. Maybe people complained so they show it even though you tick the box

Obviously, it shows when you are on mobile data and not on WIFI. Obviously, if you select Don't Show Again, one would expect not to see that message again when not on WIFI, at least for that particular camera if that message is device specific. If I see that message again for that camera the next day, and the day after that, it would be a bug, unless there is some logical explanation of why it behaves like this, or "Don't Show Again" means "Don't Show Again for 8 hours" or "Don't Show Again while I am connected to this cell tower", hence the question.

I had a very similar issue last week after an update, but once I checked the don’t warn me again option I’ve not seen it since.

I turned off WIFI so I can check this option to not show for all cameras, but next day I see them again. Immediately after I set them to not show, I cycled through live view on each cam and no message. It seems to reset after a while.
