Thank you for your issue. This behavior is not really a bug, but we need to discuss if we want a different behavior. We use the notification category Alarm for alerts, which in default mode is an exception in the Do Not Disturb settings. If you disable Alarm as an exception in the Do Not Disturb-settings, the FOSSWarns notifications will be muted. The question is whether we want that. We could change the category to something like Message so that the user can still enable the Do Not Disturb setting for some notification channels. @MatsG23 what do you think?

On the one hand, I think that the Alarm category was made to be used by timer/clock apps and should not be used by other apps. On the hand, it would be nice if, at least, warnings with a severe or extreme severity could bypass the DND mode (by default). Can the app set the "Can bypass DND mode" setting itself or is this an user-only option? I understand that some warnings (hopefully most) are considered quite unimportant and a distraction from e.g. the workflow tried to achieve through the DND mode.

Wouldn't it make sense to simply use normal notifications? Everyone can then decide for themselves in the settings whether Do Not Disturb should be bypassed or not.

e.g. the workflow tried to achieve through the DND mode.

The trigger for the issue was that I was constantly getting alerts even though I was asleep.

We have changed the category to Message in version 0.7.0, which should solve this issue.
