Allow iCloud Data Access on the Web notification

Since I had Advanced Data Protection on, I had to let iCloud get data access on the web. This by turning on for this in iCloud settings on my iPhone.

However, after doing this, I consistently get a notification up telling me to continue to settings to turn on iCloud data access in the web. It happens nothing when I press it or hold it in. When I remove it, it comes again after a short while. Either as a pop-up, or whenever I drag down the notifications menu.

I have tried the following:

Turn on and off iCloud Data Access on the Web in iCloud settings on iPhone
Turn on and off Advanced Data Protection
Log out from all browsers through settings on iCloud website
Restart my iPhone

I do not know what to do anymore, and I will be happy for any answer. This "bug" or whatever it is really start to annoy the sh*t out of me. I really hope someone else have been in the same situation and found a solution.

Thanks for all help!

See attached images of the notification in question.

Update: Signing out and back into my Apple account solved the problem for me.

I see that the first sentence is missing, for some reason. Probably due to editing.

Here it is:

"Hello! I have migrated all of my files from Google Drive to iCloud. This process in itself has gone fine, but there is an annoying bug that has persisted after doing this on my Windows laptop."

Guessing nobody is going to help at Apple. The message is relentless and i can’t get it to stop.

This is it! Did the same on my iPhone and it helped. Now it's finally gone :-)

I am having this same exact issue. I'll file a feedback today and report back if anything comes of it. (Sometimes I get responses.)

I have a feeling the solution is probably "sign out of iCloud and sign back in." That is the solution for a lot of dumb bugs. Support will likely tell you to try that. (because it actually fixes a lot of issues people have) This option would be an inconvenience for me, so maybe someone who is more peeved than I am can try it and report back here? If that is the solution, I'll do it too. But what a pain.

It's functionally nothing bad at least, but I am getting a bit peeved at my iPhone for doing this. Notifications are supposed to be for important events, so now I'm being trained that I should expect a notification every time I pull down Notification Center and that it means absolutely nothing.
