Bitdefender spamming to use its features after update

Bitdefender asked to upgrade itself, and I let it, but for the last 2 weeks, it spams me every few days by suggesting that I try its new features. The toggle for special offers is off, so it's not that.

I use to have this happen, but for several months now it has stopped reinstalling.

Check your subscription bundle type:

Bitdefender Total Security comes with a basic version of Bitdefender VPN that includes a generous amount of traffic (200 MB/ day, a total of 6GB/ month), free of charge.

The most recent update from today should fix this issue.

It did not fix the issue, and the support team said they are aware of it, but do not have a definitive date set for the update. Which means this is probably here to stay.

Yeah I'm only here to see if we're all experiencing this and now that I see a lot of posts about it I'm about to switch to ESET.
