Recently every page on the DB console started displaying this license status alert in the header, pictured here:
This is shown even when the license status is not concerning, requiring attention or actionable by the user of the console.
The treatment of it is also very prominent: on the top of every single page, underlined, bolded and with a colorful alert icon next to it, actively drawing attention to it. If it were indicating a problem such as an expiring or expired license -- potentially explaining whatever issue the DB console is actually being used to debug -- such prominence and active claiming of attention would make sense. But when the license is not concerning -- not expired nor expiring imminently -- this treatment doesn't seem aligned with the actual important and relevance to whatever task the DB console is being used for at the moment.
Could we not show this here when the license state is not a cause for concern, and instead show it only on advanced debug (where the license type was previously / still shown)?
