Do not disturb icon shown after waking up?

Hi all!

I am new to Macs. Why is the "Do not disturb" icon shown in the top bar for a while after waking up? It then goes away. Is this normal?

Are you sure it isn't the location indicator? The do not disturb is a moon crescent and the location indicator is a arrow pointing upward towards the right.

Not exact since I screen capped them from locations other than the menu bar but close enough.

Edit: from the menu bar:

It seems to be normal. I noticed this happening after the Big Sur update.

Hi! Yes, it's the do not disturb one.

Ah, I see! Good to know. Wonder why that is, though?

I recall seeing that once also on my M1 MBA. Hasn't happened since, as far as I've noticed.
Does it go away on its own after awhile, or do you have to disable DoNotDisturb mode manually to get it to go away?

I've noticed this too recently. No idea what triggered it because it definitely didn't show when I first got my M1 Air. May have been Apple's recent Big Sur 11.3 update 🤷‍♂️

It doesn't appear to be strictly related to the M1 since I've seen this happen on my 2019 Intel Macbook Pro.

It's a normal part of notifications. You have the option to turn Do Not Disturb on while the display is sleeping (I do). When the display wakes up, you see the icon for just a second or two before it goes away–all normal.

Yes, this is exactly what is happening! However, I have turned off "Do not disturb" while the display is sleeping, and I still see the notification for a few seconds after waking up. It's not a huge deal, just slightly annoying. 😄

I get the exact same issue. All my DND settings are off, including display and still get the icon for a second or two. I’m expecting this is part of the way the Mac is reducing power as it sleeps. No idea Really

do you know what the default setting is for this option? Was it set on as default?

It must be. I have not seen it much since 11.4, to be honest. I will check if it's still there after waking up.
