Badge to renew AppleCare showing on settings

Since updating to IOS 27 yesterday on my phone I'm now stuck with 2 red badges on my Settings icon reminding me that AppleCare on my phone and watch have both expired and prompting me to renew my coverage. Clicking on them and declining coverage for each device (and clicking Don't Show Again) does nothing. The red badge also shows on my watch app on my phone. So annoying! I've done multiple restarts and badges persist.

The window to renew the coverage is only 30 days, so just wait it out and the notifications will disappear in due time.

Having Ads pushed on me day 1 in my settings is so wild and frustrating, and now I can't even dismiss the badge? And I can't shut off apple trying to push paid services on me lol. Just worse and worse as the years go on. Hope the good will runs out and this company actually tries to be consumer friendly and makes products that are more than something that "just works"
