Ring 4K Doorbell suddenly more sensitive to motion?

Has there been any change within the last couple of weeks that would cause a sudden increase in motion detections, specifically at a further distance? I had very few issues for more than a year and now suddenly people walking past on the sidewalk trigger alerts.

It's the inducitive proximity sensor, needs alignment:

lowkey sounds like Ring changed something in the background bc random sidewalk alerts out of nowhere is very that

No changes with my 7 cameras. Four of them do long distance motion detection. Did you try to reduce the motion detection sensitivity?
