I am troubleshooting a problematic NVME + enclosure and so I restarted by Macbook Air, and when it restarted, I now have this pop-up that announces whether Bluetooth is on or off OVER my menu bar:
Does anyone have any idea (1) what this is or how this happened and (2) how to make it go away?
It looks like a part of the control center being stuck? That is weird and apparently seems to be a bug (?) that is out there quite some time. I have not experienced this myself before.

What happens if you restart your Macbook again? It should go away?
Another option from the Reddit thread I posted above:
- Open Terminal
- type
killall ControlCenter- press Enter
Also interesting and maybe an idea for further debugging:

On the fly you can relaunch the menubar from the Terminal.app copy and paste:
killall -KILL SystemUIServer
Clearing caches may be an idea, too:
(Clearing system caches also can be achieved booting into safe mode and restarting normally after that.)
Yes, sorry for not replying sooner!, but, yes, it went away with another restart. Thank you for your detailed reply!
