@Odezra, please confirm that you successfully completed the Trusted Access verification process. Did it accept your ID?
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes i went through the trusted access verification process cleanly / on the happy path.
To add to this ticket. the flag had since disappeared but reappeared when using 5.2xhigh to do a task - on this occasion the flag reappeared stating t i was prohibited from using 5.3 codex (despite using a 5.2xhigh model). The task was a simple template design task on the local machine.
Thanks for the bug report. We're continuing to tune our cyber safety classifiers to make them more accurate. You can read more about this here. If you see this again in the future and believe it's a false positive (i.e. you aren't doing anything related to cybersecurity), please use the
/feedbackslash command and choose "Safety Check" to report it. That will help us further tune our checks.
