Occasionally, warning messages can appear as false positives and may get stuck. To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:

1. Click the small 'x' icon on the warning message to attempt to remove it.
2. Refresh the dashboard to see if the warning message still appears.

If the message disappears, everything is likely in order. If the issue continues, please let me know so we can investigate further.
