It looks like you and Colin agree on that.

Yeah, I hadn't initially encountered it after that weird update issue
the other day, but  I have had the same issue once before in the
past and it ended up resolving itself at some point, so I never
figured out what had caused it.

My system uses Discover 5.24.7 and the caution/warning that I see is
shown the instant the program is opened even if there are no updates
to be fetched.

I haven't found others who are experiencing it and the only other
mention of it in the KDE bug reports was years ago and the issue was
solved by editing the /etc/fwupd/remotes.d/lvfs.conf file that I
already edited similarly without success.

I'm using Kubuntu 22.04 LTS.
