Unable to turn off DND on my MacBook Pro

On my MacBook Pro 2023 16" M2 Max, OS 14.6.1, my Do Not Disturb keeps turning on, unbeknownst to me. I do not turn it on and don't have it set to turn on automatically. I do see that the F6 key is set for Do Not Disturb; I use the F5 dictation key often, so maybe I'm hitting F6 by mistake sometimes.

Anyway, I do not want to use Do Not Disturb. However, I can't find a way to keep it from turning on unbeknownst to me. Can I map a different function onto the F6 key? Or, is there a setting that prevents my turning on by mistake?
