So I recently impersonated a user and then when going back, I got Push notifications for both his account and mine…not sure if that’s a bug or not…

Not a bug. Impersonation is just a minimally viable feature:

> As far as I’m aware, there is currently no way to ‘stop impersonating’ a user. In order to do this now, you have to log out, and then log back in as yourself. It’d be nice if there were a link to ‘stop impersonating’ the user in the user avatar dropdown menu: [image]

For clarity - the notifications happen even after logging of the impersonated user?

We are not accepting bugs on an alpha plugin combined with rarely used functionality like impersonate. Use the push plugin at your own risk and keep feedback in that topic.
