One specific user never sees the numerical notification badge on their Streams button when sent something, even though the underlying task/notice does show up once they click into Streams — no configuration is found anywhere to toggle this badge on or off, and this only affects this one user. Separately, if MANY users start getting flooded with excessive/miscellaneous Streams alerts, what commonly causes that?

Answer

A full restart of the server infrastructure has resolved this exact persistent per-user missing-notification-badge symptom, even though there's no visible configuration setting specifically for the notification badge itself to check beforehand. Separately, if many users are getting flooded with excessive or seemingly miscellaneous Streams alerts rather than one specific user missing their own badge, check for overly broad Custom Events tied to routine, high-volume actions, for example Purchase Order or Purchase Order Requisition line creation, that are firing notices far more broadly than intended. Disabling or narrowing the scope of those specific overly-broad events stops the flood and lets genuinely relevant notifications display correctly for everyone again.
