Please stop Tapo care reminder

How can I stop the stupid Tapo Care subscription reminder at 2 AM in the morning? I have a rolling subscription so a reminder is pointless. But why does the app send such a reminder in the middle of the night?
I leave my phone on during the night. It is on do not disturb and the Tapo app is allowed to get through if it detects a person on my property. This is the second time I‘ve been woken up at 2 AM.
My heart pounds and adrenaline rushes as I‘m woken up with a pointless and stupid reminder about Tapo care. I am then so angry and full of adrenaline I can't get back to sleep.
I find it impossible to understand how an intelligent company would do this to it's customers. Such a reminder should be sent during the day time. Surely?
Thanks

Hi,
If you mean that you received camera detection notifications(such as motion-detected or person-detected notifications) at night, on the Tapo app > camera's Device Settings > Notifications page, you can customize the time to receive notifications.
Below are the instructions to set up the notification feature.
How to configure the Notification feature for the Tapo Camera on the Tapo app?
Best Regards

I have exactly the same problem. In case anyone else has this, can you please clarify.
I have turned off ALL system notification settings, which is what I would have expected to have fixed the problem but it still occurs. I have promotions turned off and yet it still happens.
At 2-3am (UK GMT) once a month I receive the notification from the Tapo app reminding me about a payment being taken in 2 days time.
The only setting I haven't tried changing is the 'Do Not Disturb' one. In my view, turning this on would result in me receiving no notifications from the app at all, as in no person detections, no alarms, etc. Are you saying that we should turn this on to resolve the problem, and if so will the app definitlely notifiy me if someone enters my home etc?
Many thanks.

Hi
I do clearly say that I have my phone on during the night to allow person detection notifications. I need to stop tapo care notifications in the middle of the night waking me up and making me think there is an intruder. It is beyond my compression as to how anyone at tp link could think that was acceptable.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
Currently, in the Tapo app, you can temporarily disable camera notifications during the times when you might receive Tapo Care reminders by going to Me > Notifications > Management. Alternatively, you can enable the Do Not Disturb feature during those times by navigating to Me > Notifications > Do Not Disturb. Please note that if you choose these options, you will not receive any camera notifications during that period.
Regarding the improvement to prevent the camera from sending Tapo Care reminders at night, I have forwarded your request and suggestion to the relevant team for evaluation. I will update this post if there are any updates.
For further analysis, please send me(@Solla-topee) "Forum ID 750884 + camera's MAC address" via a private message.
Thank you for your understanding!
Best Regards

Thankyou. I suspect the only reason you aren't inundated with complaints about this is that I believe the majority of people don't monitor for defections at night when they are in the house.
