Anyone know where I can turn off the Auto Styles interactive box on a text frame?

Adobe is messing with my flow.
I do newspapers in Indesign. At the start of filling in content on a newspaper I grab a range of individual word docs in the OS and drop them onto the page, rapidly click them off in a horizontal row, select them all and then apply body style with a hot key. From there I figure out where I'm going to put them and the rest of the formatting.
In ID2023 they've added the maddening "feature" of popping up the gray box with a "T" in it on the bottom of any story box where the contents are longer than the box draw on placement. It goes away if the user does any click/keystroke. Clicking on the box applies an Auto Style from the ether, and opens the Styles panes.
So instead of being able to smoothly go through clicks that each result in a text frame placement, I'm now having to frequently double click every time I place a longer story jsut to make the Auto Styles box go away. I'm a high actions per minute guy, and it's driving me up the wall.
I've rooted around in the prefrences and Googled, but haven't found a solution. I've gone through similar instances of this with Adobe's historic "smart" handles and doodads they love to clutter up frames with but I haven't found my way to a solution for this yet. If anyone knows how to make this stop I'll be eternally grateful
Phone shot included since any keystroke makes the thing go away.
