That's a design limitation. The notifications only time out when the popup is shown, or after 120 seconds.
> EXPECTED RESULT > plasma shows no notification when DnD mode is disabled According to your Steps To Reproduce, it didn't. It saved the notifications while you were in DnD mode and showed them to you after you disabled DnD mode. Also typically you're not going to be turning DnD off 5 seconds after turning it on. If you had turned it off after an hour or two (as would be typical), the popups would have already internally timed out and not been shown to you.
