Alerts - You haven’t downloaded transactions in over 30 days

Question

I noticed the following set of alerts under Tools > Alerts Center > Show All tab:
Online Banking: You haven't downloaded transactions for Schwab in over 30 days.
… and repeated for only and every investment account.I know the alert can be disabled via the checkbox under Setup tab > General > Reminders > Online transactions
Transactions have been downloaded on a weekly basis for the said accounts.  Once I delete the alerts and perform an OSU, the same alerts show up again.  So what is triggering the alert?  (I don't use the alerts feature so it is not a big deal at all, but just curious).  TIA

Thank you @Chris_QPW .So what is triggering the alerts remain unresolved.FYI this is on a two month old install on a new laptop, deleted & recreated dataset file.  Further, same alerts also appear on my other laptop on a separate super-validated small test file with the latest Q version.  So it is not a datafile issue.  Most likely a sporadic user-specific abnormality (I never claimed to be normal) and therefore I will toggle off that specific setting.  Unless any other other ideas, moving on and Quicken may close this if they wish.  Cheers.

I have zero for all transactions, but that is expected.

People might believe that their transactions go either the Downloaded Transactions tab or into the register depending on the automatic transaction entry mode, but that isn't what actually happens.

They go to the Online Center.  The Downloaded Transaction tab seems just present what is in the Online Center for that account.  Once one accepts the transactions in the Downloaded Transactions tab (or it is done automatically) then they leave the Online Center and go into the register.  If you look at your Online Center before you accept them into the register you will see them there.

@Chris_QPW , Do you have a non-zero value under the transaction column for any accounts - see screenshot?  ALL of my accounts (bank, CC, inv) show zero transactions although I downloaded transactions prior to the screenshot (which I had never given any attention to it till today).  This is a mystery since the described alert is only for my investment accounts and every one of them.  But like I said it is unimportant.
