False “Unknown AirPods Pro found near you” notification

[Lloigorr]

Hello! Since I switched from my trusty SE2016 to my new 13 mini in late January I get the following notification every other day (sorry for German):

Basically it says that my iPhone found a pair of unknown AirPods travelling with me plus a map showing my way home. The problem is: these are mine ?‍? I bought them in December and with my SE2016 there was no such notification at all. What can I do to make my phone recognise the AirPods as my own ones?

Thanks in advance!

Here's what I could find

'AirPods Pro left behind' FALSE notification

I’ve been receiving these false notifications since I purchased the AirPod Pros last year. I have the latest OS, latest firmware, disconnected/reconnected the device and I still receive this idiotic message. As I have read elsewhere, it’s of no consequence that both devices are in my coat pocket...

AirPods Pro and Left Behind

Making it very short: I have iPhone 11 Pro and AirPods Pro, both updated to the latest software/firmware available. When I go to Find My I have no option on my AirPods Pro to turn on/off any kind of notification for them. Anyone else experiencing this?

AirPod Pro left behind notification exclusions ignored

Yesterday my AirPod Pros updated to the newest firmware 4A400, so now I can utilize the Find My app to locate the AirPods if they were left behind. The only problem is that I'm getting the left behind notifications on my iPhone 13 Pro (running IOS 15.0.1) and my Apple Watch 6 every time I leave...
