What I meant was OS upgrades are frequently a mixed bag of improvements and restrictions, like Monterey removing the ability to store Dropbox, etc. files on an external drive. So it’s not unusual for some people to delay upgrading for months, or longer, to avoid potential problems with mission critical software.
In my case all I need is a stable platform to run 3rd party software.
I’ve found most of the “improvements” in new macOS releases to be superficial except for those related to interoperability with iOS. On my server Mac mini I’m only concerned about security updates, and considering how it is used even that is a minor consideration. It’s still running Ventura, which is what it ran when new. I’ve no plans to update it to Sonoma or Sequoia.
I agree. Also, the latest version is generally the most secure. Even when older versions of macOS are still getting security updates, they don’t always get them as quickly or frequently as the latest version
Stop macOS 15 Sequoia monthly screen recording prompts

Still not ideal, but…
You can just run this from terminal (this year) to edit the file:
sed -i '' -e 's/<date>2024/<date>3024/g' ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.apple.replayd/ScreenCaptureApprovals.plist
Adding – I see a difference in the structure of this file in Sequoia 15.1 than in 15.0, so beware! However this terminal command should work in both.
This is far more involved. In 15.0 the dates reset themselves if you add a new app. I guess the system does a sanity check and fixes strange dates. In 15.1 I see different behavior for different apps. Bartender wants the monthly renewal however slottr seems to set it permanently (I’ll find out for sure next month). Skitch, which runs using Rosetta, doesn’t make an entry in the plist file. I think this is something best put aside until things settle down.
Theoretically, if you are able to do stuff in the terminal, you could write an automation with a batch reset script. 
And there is already an app for that:
Although I think it will become a game of whack-a-mole.
Yep to whack-a-mole. As I found out, the format of the ScreenCaptureApprovals.plist file changed with 15.1. And if you look at the site for Amnesia it says “If you are on 15.1 this current version will not work. You can already download the app and you’ll receive an updated version soon.” It also looks like there may be legitimate workaround/solutions coming for the developers. In that case none of these kludges will be necessary.
Good news. This is in the release notes for 15.1 Release Candidate:
