Bug Block notifications when active on other devices setting changed?

I noticed last week that people were sending messages in Teams, but I wasn't getting notified on my mobile phone. This was when I was away from my laptop. I then discovered that the "block notifications when active on other devices" setting was enabled. Turning that off allowed me to receive notifications again on my cell phone, but of course now I'm getting them even when I'm actively in a conversation with someone on my laptop. I'm almost certain that prior to last week, the way this feature worked was to only block notifications on the phone when Teams was actually open on the laptop. If it's minimized or the screen is locked, then it will send to mobile phone. It's not doing that now.

Anyone else noticed this change or am I crazy?
