I get these all the time with my AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd gen. Happens when i'm driving, i'll get a time sensitive alert that i left them on the highway 20 minutes back at the petrol station i stopped at. It's actually a shame because more and more i'm completely ignoring these alerts because i get them so often for my AirPods, and every so often I see them for my MacBook and AirTags as well.

If i'm at a point where these alerts are getting subconsciously ignored, then what's the point of even using the feature? May as well switch it off completely.

Yeah, it’s way too sensitive. Would be nice if we could select a “perimeter” or radius ourselves, so it only sent a notification if you got like 500 meters away from them or something.

I don't think it's a permiter thing. I've received warnings about my AirPods not being near me while i'm actively listening to them. It's just buggy.

Oh yeah but what I’m saying is that we should be able to set a perimeter, like if you go X distance away it’ll ping you. I only get the notification if I actually leave my AirPods, I’ve never gotten it while using them or having them in my pocket. Not even while driving.
