Why do I keep seeing a red alert icon in my taskbar?

The red dot notification keeps appearing on the Creative Cloud icon in the mac os menu bar. As Jan2563190 notes, it started doing that fairly recently. Previously it was useful for drawing attention to app updates (which I do manually). Now it shows up over and over every day, and for no apparent reason. Seriously. No apparent reason. And this is despite all notifications being turned off except for app updates. (I just turned that off, too, but doubt it will make any difference.) Syncing is also turned off. For such a small thing, the unwanted and useless red dot is super irritating. The solution may be to uninstall the Creative Cloud app, which appears to be the only way to get its icon off the menu bar. I may end up doing that anyway, but does that also kill being able to update apps? I hestitate to find out. Adobe has not only foisted the red dot imposition on users, it doesn't even bother to provide basic information about this behavior or what can be done about it and what the consequences might be. If anyone from Adobe is reading this, what kind of thinking leads to this kind of situation? That may sound like a rhetorical question, but it's really not.

Thank you for your quick response.

Looking at the "Creative Cloud Files" folder in my home folder, I see that it's empty. Further, viewing the folder online shows a "this folder is empty" message when trying to view "all" under the files option.

This doesn't seem to be the issue causing the red alert badge, and further still, I would expect there to be a message given along with an alert badge indicating that I had used the available space in my "cloud files".

Are there any other reasons that this badge might appear, and is there any definitive way to determine what causes it when it does appear? If you watch the video that I created and linked, you'll see that the alert badge just disappears (as it has the past few times I've seen it).
